Abstract

The natural relationships among free-living and host-associated spirochetes were studied by investigating aspects of their morphology, physiology and DNA base composition. These studies indicated that the strictly and facultatively anaerobic, free-living spirochetes share characteristics which distinguish them from their host-associated counterparts and from the free-living leptospires.
