Abstract:
Abstract Chemical gradients can easily be established in agar gels to test behaviour of bacteria in respect to two variables. Agar plates with pH and NaCl gradients have provided a simple technique for useful comparison of heterotrophic bacteria and the present paper extends observations to non-sulphur purple photosynthetic bacteria.
