title: Osmiophilic structure in pigment-producing Flavobacterium mutants.
abstract: A highly osmiophilic structure observed in all pigment-producing mutants of Flavobacterium examined is described. Several factors favor the possibility that this structure might be related to pigment synthesis or pigment accumulation.
