Abstract

ONE of us isolated a nitrifying organism from the open ocean and called it Nitrosocystis oceanus1. In the course of examining this organism, observations were made on the fine structures shown in sections of embeddings made in ‘Vostopal W’ following the preparative prescriptions of Ryter and Kellenberger2,3. A number of structural peculiarities were observed, which will be described in a separate paper, and among them there was a structure that seems to be without precedent so far as wo are aware. It was an organelle of regular and recognizable form lying between the major layers which make up the cell wall of this bacterium.
