Abstract
An association between piliation and colony morphology has not been observed for the meningococcus. We have found that growth of meningococci overnight at 30 degrees C in a candle extinction jar allows observation of distinct colonial phenotypes correlated to the presence or absence of piliation and the expression of opacity-associated proteins. These phenotypes are similar to those observed in gonococci grown overnight at 37 degrees C.Entities:
