Abstract
Summary: There is an apparent cycle of nuclear reorganization in Lactobacillus sp. Nuclear fusion occurs between the units of a multicellular bacillus. The organism then increases in length, the nucleoplasm being redistributed throughout the resulting filament, which by fragmentation returns to the bacillary condition. A very similar cycle is seen in Streptococcus faecalis.Keywords
