“…Most data on spirochetal structure date from the micro-scopic descriptions by Zueler, Dobel, and Noguchi (reviewed in reference 129) and later by DeLamater et al (85,86), Pillot et al (203,204), and Rose and Morton (211). Beginning in the 1940s, workers in this field applied electron microscopy to unravel spirochetal architecture (15,114,115,152,174,238). The contributions of Hovind-Hougen over more than a decade have revealed many features of borrelial structure that were hitherto unknown (133)(134)(135)(136)150).…”

“…Molbert (6) has shown sections of Borrelia hispanica, though, unfortunately, the electron micrographs could not distinctly reveal the fine details of the surface structure and of the cytoplasm. According to the author's previous paper (5,7), sections of Borrelia duttonii have shown that the protoplasm is surrounded by a distinct membrane and contains less dense areas in which lie the thread-like and granular structures. The fine structure of the spirochete has now been reinvestigated, using an improved fixation for sectioning and an electron microscope possessing the highest resolving power.…”
