Abstract

Azotobacter vinelandii was grown on N(2), NH(4) (+), or NO(3) (-), and an internal membrane network was observed by electron microscopy of thin sections of cells. Cells obtained in early exponential growth contained less internal membrane than did cells from cultures in late exponential growth. It seems likely that O(2) has a role in regulating the amount of internal membrane structure.
