Abstract
When a strain of B. coli, fecal type 1 (River Brent) derived from a single cell is grown under conditions approaching anaerobiosis, 3 different types of cell can be demonstrated: cells which divide to give the normal colonies; L-form; and an intermediate type which appears normal, but which divides once, giving 2 daughter cells, one of which continues to divide normally while the other becomes an L-form.Keywords
