| Comments | "Although Bdellovibrio bacteria were discovered in 1962, their small size (0.25 by 1 µm, compared to the more usual 1- by 3-µm dimensions of a typical Escherichia coli cell) and the very nature of their growth within the periplasm of another bacterium has made their growth and development recalcitrant to live microscopic studies." |
