Bacterial anatomy in retrospect and prospect

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 1984;50(5-6):433-60. doi: 10.1007/BF02386219.

Abstract

Progress in bacterial anatomy over a period of about 15 years is reviewed. In particular, attention is paid to developments in which the Department of Electron Microscopy and Molecular Cytology was involved. Past and present problems in bacterial anatomy as well as approaches to their solution are discussed.
