Abstract
The speed of translatory movement of Beggiatoa alba is governed by temperature in such a way that between 5° and 33° the temperature characteristics µ = 16,100 and µ = 8,400 respectively obtain for the temperature ranges 5° to 16.5° and 16.5° to 33°. The "break" at 16°–17° is emphasized by the occurrence of a wider latitude of variation in speed above this temperature. Above 16° the progression of Thiothrix yields µ = 8,300. The possible relation of these values to that previously obtained for similar movement in (photosynthetic) Oscillatoria is commented upon.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
