. Annals of applied biology. Biology, Economic; Biochemistry. 64 Bacterial Blujht of Pear Bloasoms in SontJi Africa ^M<3 g; »^^<?*< r^.-^l;?I^. Fig. 3. Section through diseased receptacle, natural infection, drawn with Edinger's projection apparatus, the scale is indicated. A more advanced infection showing the collapsed tissues. Morphology. The organism is a short rod of very variable size and shape. A pure culture may be readily obtained from infected tissues, but the milky white masses of bacteria which diffuse out from such tissues consist of rods which exhibit astonishing variations in size and form (Fig. (')). The majority are short thick rods with rounded ends, measur- ing for the most part -6—1-5 x -5—7/a, but all the variations found on various culture media may be seen. In addition to these there are undivided rods up to 12 jx long, which are sometimes irregular in shape but which stain intensely with carbol fuchsin; it would seem probable that these are involution forms of some sort, although nothing resembling them has been found in artificial culture media. The same remark applies to fairly numerous rods of various lengths which stain faintly and are only about •2/x in diameter. All the rods are distinctly capsuled, and many of them are not stained evenly, showing 1—2 or, in the larger individuals, as many as 5—6 colourless 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 Association of Applied Biologists; Association of Economic Biologists.
