Surface projections of Chlamydia psittaci elementary bodies as revealed by freeze-deep-etching.
The morphology of the surface projections of Chlamydia psittaci elementary bodies in the intracytoplasmic inclusion was the same as that of the projections on the purified elementary bodies. Each projection emerged from the center of a flower structure, which was composed of nine leaves arranged radially.
