The inverse form of this microbe, producing dextral coils in growing, rarely occurs. Isolated colonies consisting wholly of dextrally twisted individuals are sometimes found in soils. The dextral form of Bacillus mycoides was first recorded by Gersbach (1922), and in experiments with agglutination he established that the dextral and sinistral strains of this organism are perfectly identical in all their properties. Later dextral strains among a number of sinistral ones were observed by Oesterle (1929) and by Lewis (1932). The dextrality and sinistrality in Bacillus mycoides is a hereditary feature inasmuch as dextral forms are always obtained from dextral forms and sinistral forms from sinistral after numerous transfers on Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
