Abstract
During growth in broth, B. anthracis strain 2160S became capsulated only towards the end of exponential growth. An inoculum of fully capsulated organisms formed chains which were non-capsulated save at their tips and at occasional junctions between neighbouring cells. This appearance suggested that new non-capsulated wall was synthesized at the equator of each organism but not at the poles or throughout the existing wall.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
