Induction of morphogenesis in the genus Arthrobacter.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Thirty-eight different compounds were used with 17 species of Arthrobacter to determine their ability to support growth and to induce the morphogenic cycle. In most cases, when a compound supported growth, it also induced the rod phase of growth. However, in a few cases, a compound would support growth with cells remaining in the coccoidal phase throughout the growth cycle. Arthrobacter crystallopoietes was unique in the most compounds that supported growth did not induce the rod phase of the morphogenic cycle.
