Morphological modifications of cells of Clostridium pasteurianum caused by growth on sulfite

Abstract
The morphology of Clostridium pasteurianum cells grown on 10−2 M SO32− showed significant alteration in cell shape and the absence of the electron translucent reserve polysaccharide (amylopectin) when compared to sulfate-grown cells. At the lower sulfite concentrations (10−3 and 10−4 M SO32−) the cells showed the cytoplasmic changes noted above but the cell shapes were not modified.
