New Moraxella Strain Isolated from Angular Conjunctivitis

Locomotion was studied with a modified moist chamber technique (9), by using the medium of Halvorsen (5) with 10% (v/v) horse serum. To study cell habit and the cytoplasmic structure, cells were fixed in situ through the agar with Bouin's fluid (8), stained with...
