Abstract excerpt
Two bacterial strains that are able to grow specifically on the sheath of a sheathed filamentous bacterium, Sphaerotilus natans, were isolated from soil samples. The sheath-degrading organisms, designated strains TB(T) and TK, are facultatively anaerobic and form endospores. The Gram reaction was...
