Many strains ofClostridium sporogenes were shown to contain two types of cells which exhibited strikingly different growth habits. Over 99% of the population of most strains were motile bacilli which occurred singly or in short chains. Infection by any of severalC. sporogenes bacteriophages lysed most of these cells and revealed a minority population component consisting of cells which grew in extremely long chains. Each chain was surrounded by and contained in a long tubular polysaccharide sheath which was ultrastructurally quite separate and distinct from the cell walls of the enclosed cells. The sheathed cells were identical to “normal” cells ofC. sporogenes in anaerobiosis, Gram reaction, sporulation, deoxyribonucleic base composition, general morphology, and ultrastructure. They differed from the “normal” cells in having a sheath, in being nonmotile, and in that they were infected byC. sporogenes bacteriophages but not usually lysed by them. The sheathed cells appeared spontaneously in cultures cloned from single colonies and were demonstrably present in cultures before bacteriophage infection. Thus, they were not contaminants but were normal, although inconspicuous, growth forms ofC. sporogenes which were selected but not induced by bacteriophage infection.
