Ultrastructure of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis inhabiting the soil for a long time.
Ultrastructural changes in the population of pathogenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis inhabiting a model soil ecosystem for a long time were studied. Changes in the bacteria were mainly adaptive until the 8th month of the experiment, their capacity to binary division was preserved. After 9 months cell structure changed: extracellular amorphous matrix appeared, probably due to increased mucus production.
