Usually only a single pair of bacteria will conjugate thus, but there seems little reason to doubt that the star-hke clusters which have been reported in Phytomonas tumejaciens and in cytophagas, as well as in many other genera, are exactly similar, multiple conjugations. In the case of P//. tumefaciens the concentration of Feulgen-positive material at the centre of the cluster has been Fig. 48 THE NUCLEAR REDUCTIO
