Abstract excerpt
Host-independent (H-I) mutants of the obligate bacterial parasite Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus were isolated from wild-type strain 109J. Seven H-I mutants differed in morphological features such as cell length (2-30 microm) and shape (short or long spirals or rod-like), plaque size, and pigmentation (from almost colorless to bright orange). The mutants exhibited widely different growth capabilities in rich medium,...
