FEMS Microbiol Ecol. 2004 May 1 48(2):231-8. doi: 10.1016/j.femsec.2004.01.013. p.233 right column 3rd paragraph & p.238 left column top paragraphPubMed ID19712406 |
| Method | "Swimming cells were recorded with high-speed video (High-Speed CCD-camera, MS-1000, Mega Speed Cooperation, Minnedosa, Canada) using recording-frequencies of 192, 658, or 963 frames per second (time resolution: about 5, 1.5, and 1 ms, respectively) of swimming cells with 20× or 40× objectives and Nomarski interference microscopy." |
| Comments | "One of the striking properties of ‘‘Ovobacter’’ was its high swimming velocity- most cells swam at a velocity of 0.6–0.7 mm/sec, and some cells swam up to 1 mm/sec (Fig. 5)." |
