Abstract
WHEN studying the morphology of a strain of Photobacterium fischeri, originally isolated from the surface of a luminous Baltic herring, we observed a surprisingly large number of L-bodies similar to those described by Johnson et al. 1. As the number of these L-bodies seemed to be related to the luminous intensity of the colonies a detailed study was considered worth while.
