Fig. 35. a, b, c, d, e. Corynebacteriiim fiaccumfaciens, Starr CF-18. These 

 figures illustrate the typical flagellation of C. flaccumfaciens. More than one 

 flagellum per individual is extremely rare. The flagellum usually originates at 

 or near the somatic pole but should not be confused with polar flagellation. 



f. C. poinsettiae, Starr CP-42. Most individuals in this culture showed only 

 one flagellum, if any. The flagellar arrangement was definitely peritrichous 

 and similar to that of C. flaccumfaciens. 



g, h. Corynebacteriiim (Celliilomonas) fimi, Reuszer 133. The flagella are 

 peritrichously arranged and of rather long wavelength. 



i. C. citreum-mobile, Koehler. The majority of the flagellated individuals in 

 this culture had only one flagellum. The arrangement was peritrichous like the 

 phytopathogens. Note the long wavelength similar to C. fimi.
