Isolation of motile rough colony type mutants of Pseudomonas mori, and some of their properties

Abstract

Two kinds of rough colony type mutant were obtained at a high rate from Pseudomonas mori isolates cultured in modified King's liquid medium for two months. These rough isolates showed a spontaneous agglutination reaction in distilled water, deionized water and physiological saline, indicating that the occurrence of agglutination has a close relation with both filamentous form and motility of them.
