Antisera were prepared against two Arthrobacter strains isolated from Azolla filiculoides and the type strain Arthrobacter globiformis ATCC 8010. The antisera confirmed that the bacteria associated with Azolla filiculoides-Anabaena belong to the genus Arthrobacter. Differences in the immunological reactions among the different species Arthrobacter were noted, indicating the presence of common antigens in the two forms, coccus and rod. This contributes to the knowledge of the pleomorphism of Arthrobacter. The presence of gram-positive Arthrobacter in the Azolla-Anabaena association was also confirmed by immunogold labeling of the bacteria in the leaf cavities of Azolla filiculoides.

Abstract
Antisera were prepared against two Arthrobacter strains isolated from Azolla filiculoides and the type strain Arthrobacter globiformis ATCC 8010. The antisera confirmed that the bacteria associated with Azolla filiculoides-Anabaena belong to the genus Arthrobacter. Differences in the immunological reactions among the different species Arthrobacter were noted, indicating the presence of common antigens in the two forms, coccus and rod. This contributes to the knowledge of the pleomorphism of Arthrobacter. The presence of gram-positive Arthrobacter in the Azolla-Anabaena association was also confirmed by immunogold labeling of the bacteria in the leaf cavities of Azolla filiculoides.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
