Peritrichous flagellation in Plesiomonas shigelloides strains.
In total, 131 strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from various sources were tested for peritrichous flagella by a flagella staining method. When incubated on a solid medium for 18 hr at 25 C, peritrichous flagella were demonstrated in 89 (68%) of them. With an electron microscope, the peritrichous flagella were clearly distinguished from the lophotrichous ones by their wavelength.
