A loysius , S. K. D. & P aton , A.M. 1984. Artificially induced symbiotic associations of L‐form bacteria and plants. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 465–477. L‐forms of a small but varied selection of bacteria were found to enter viable plant cells and establish novel symbiotic relationships. Evidence is presented for the ability of the L‐forms to spread and to express at least some of their metabolic functions within plant tissue.
