Abstract:
Bacterial nanocells 0.2-0.3 micron in size and hundreds of a cubic micron in volume have been revealed in natural habitats and obtained in pure cultures. The taxonomic analysis of naturally occurring nanobacteria showed that they belong to the known taxa of the kingdom Eubacteria. The results of the cytological investigation of nanocells suggest that they are universally formed in response to stress impacts.
