(15) Patients who developed new infection with gram-negative bacilli had fever, in contrast to patients with new gram-positive cocci infection.
(16) Histopathologic lesions and acid-fast bacilli were rare during the first 4 months of infection and then, with time, increased in prevalence and severity.
(17) The antigenicity of extra-cellular material between the bacilli in undisturbed cultured colonies and that of the pathogen per se were measured and correlated by means of the semi quantitative complement fixation method after incubation for 72 h at 37 C. When the amount of extracellular substance in wild-type T1 (virulent) bacteria was compared by electron microscopy with that in avirulent strains of Y. pestis, with and without passage through guinea pigs, we found that the material of interest was greatly attenuated or even absent in colonies that had not been passed through animals, whereas passage markedly augmented production of the material.

(5) Bacillus subtilis grown at 42 degrees C produces a major form of Gro EL-like chaperonin that has been analyzed by electron microscopy.
(6) Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (Btk) and subspecies berliner (Btb) both produce lepidopteran-specific larvicidal protoxins with different activities against the same insect species.

(10) The temperature optimum is 70-73 degrees C and growth occurs from 62 to 77 degrees C. The organism's thermal and physiological characteristics are compared to those of Bacillus stearothermophilus, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Sulfolobus acidocalderius, Thermus aquaticus, Thermus flavus, as well as Thiobacillus denitrificans, the latter being the only other facultatively anaerobic chemolithotroph which has been isolated and described.
