title: [The surfaces of colonies of Mycobacterium species studied in the scanning electron microscope].
abstract: The study of the morphology of the surface of several mycobacterial species differing in their pathogenicity by the methods of scanning and transmission electron microscopy has revealed that cells in such colonies and micrococlonies are associated and form one common layer of medium electron density. The cells in this layer are sharply outlined. The cover on the surface of mycobacterial colonies, revealed in this investigation, ensures the stability of mycobacteria in the environment and their resistance to the action of various chemical and physical factors.
