Abstract
Manipulation of ion concentration can be used to produce profound changes in the morphology of both the cytoplasmic membrane and the outer double-track layer of the cell envelope of the marine pseudomonad studied here. The fact that these layers are deformable, without any changes in the morphology of the rigid peptidoglycan layer, suggests that both have a "plastic" physical nature.Keywords
