Abstract
Of twenty-two strains of gliding prokaryotes examined, all but three were found to possess polar fimbriae. Fimbriae were not observed on two gliders, while Chloroflexus aurantiacus bore abundant peritrichous fimbriae. In some gliding bacteria, fimbriae were associated with 'holes' surrounded by an electron-transparent collar bearing 12 spike-like projections.Entities:
