Abstract
The order of Spirochaetales Buchanan (1918), comprises microorganisms which, according to Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, have the following characteristics:
“Slender, flexuous bodies, 6 to 500 microns in length, in the form of spirals with at least one complete turn. Some forms may show an axial filament, a lateral crista, or ridge, or transverse striations; otherwise there is no significant protoplasmic pattern. Smaller forms may have a lower refractive index than that of true bacteria, and therefore they can be seen only with darkfield illumination. Some forms take aniline dyes with difficulty; Giemsa’s stain is uniformly successful. Granules are formed in some species which are found in vector hosts. All forms are motile. In the true bacteria, motility is effected by flagella endowed with a lashing movement; however, no such structures exist among the spirochetes. Terminal projections, whether derived from the periplast or from the axial filament, may assist in the movements, and it is possible that the crista has a similar function, although neither of these structures can explain the violent motion of the spirochetes. This motility consists of a rapid whirling or spinning about the long axis, which activity drives the organism forward or backward, there being no anteroposterior polarity. In addition the spirochetes make violent, lashing movements, curling and uncurling their spirals. Multiplication is by transverse fission, no sexual cycle being known. Free-living, saprophytic and parasitic forms.”
