Ultrastructure of Gram-negative cotton bacteria with different pulmonary toxicities.
The shedding of outer membrane material was observed by electron microscopy in typical gram-negative cotton bacteria, except Agrobacterium sp. This finding is in accordance with the relative pulmonary toxicities of these bacteria. The presence of capsules did not seem to be correlated with the acute pulmonary toxicity of the bacteria.
