True morphology of the Azotobacteraceae-filterable bacteria

J G Lopez, G R Vela

    Nature
    |February 12, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers discovered a previously unknown, small form of soil Azotobacter, resolving a long-standing paradox in bacteriology. This finding confirms the existence of filterable bacteria, specifically a new Azotobacter cyst phase.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology
    • Soil Science

    Background:

    • Historical references to filterable bacteria exist but were largely dismissed due to misconceptions.
    • Previous research suggested a very small Azotobacter form or a novel cyst phase, but lacked definitive proof.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the discovery of small, filterable soil Azotobacter.
    • To provide evidence supporting the existence of a previously undiscovered Azotobacter cyst phase.

    Main Methods:

    • The study builds upon prior research on gamma-ray resistance in soil Azotobacter.
    • Further investigations into Azotobacter survival in soil were conducted.

    Main Results:

    • The existence of small, filterable soil Azotobacter has been confirmed.
    • Evidence supporting a new phase of the Azotobacter cyst in soil is presented.

    Conclusions:

    • The discovery resolves the historical paradox surrounding filterable bacteria.
    • This finding validates the existence of a small, potentially undiscovered phase of Azotobacter cysts in soil.
