Swarm cells of Thiothrix nivea were found to possess a group of fimbriae at one pole. The other pole either was bare or possessed from one to three fimbriae. By using this polarity as a marker, it was found that the initial step in attachment of swarm cells involves the fimbriated pole and that this initial step is followed by the production of holdfast material.

发现雪白贝日阿托氏菌的游动细胞在一极具有一组菌毛。另一极要么光秃，要么有一至三根菌毛。利用这种极性作为标记，发现游动细胞附着的第一步涉及有菌毛的一极，并且在这第一步之后会产生固着物质。
