Specific immune precipitates of not cell‐bound antigen of Mycoplasma pneumoniae have been examined in the electron microscope using negative staining. The precipitates were found to contain aggregates of;lobular elements measuring 10–100 nm. The results provide evidence that the small globular elements are formed during the growth of M. pneumoniae in broth culture.
