A kind of “gram negative” fusiform obligate aerobic bacteria was isolated from tooth coating of a normal mouth and was identified as Bacillus fusiformis, for its various biological characters.<BR>This bacterium was studied electron-microscopically, by using emulsion specially prepared to avoid the morphological changes of the cultured bacteria.<BR>The most interesting result was the discovery of the existence of flagella by some strains of B. fusiformis. (Fig. 3)<BR>According to the observation, several flagella exist irregulary around the bacterial body, so apparently this bacterium does not belong to Monotricha, Amphytricha or Lophotricha, but Peritricha.<BR>(This is the briefest synopsis of the publication made at the 5th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Stomatological Society in April 1951)
