Abstract
Summary Two strains of Chlorosarcina stigmatica, one strain of Chlorosarcinopsis minor and one strain of Planophila laetevirens, all isolated from soil, were studied with light microscope and partially with TEM. Special attention was paid on their common feature, the formation of sarcinoid thalli by divisions, which obviously do not accord with the orginal definition of vegetative cell division or desmoschisis. In all investigated strains, the division products (especially when formed as diads) could also be interpreted as autospores. The taxonomic position of the studied strains is still unsure and discussed. The two strains of Chlorosarcina seem to represent the type of Chlorosarcina stigmatica.
