The ultrastructure of seven Thiobacillus species was studied. The structure of their cell envelopes is similar, if not identical, to that found in other gram-negative bacteria. Obvious differences were noted in the middle layer of the cell envelope of the seven cultures. Polyhedral inclusion bodies were apparent in four of the organisms: T. thioparus, T. neapolitanus, T. intermedius, and T. thiooxidans. Lamellar bodies, similar to those present in certain photosynthetic bacteria were found in a few cells of T. thioparus. Structures resembling mesosomes were discovered in T. dinitrificans. A few cells of T. intermedius possessed paracrystalline bodies. Other inclusions, probably volutin and polysaccharide, were present in some of the cultures.
对七种硫杆菌属细菌的超微结构进行了研究。它们的细胞壁结构即便不完全相同，也与其他革兰氏阴性菌的细胞壁结构相似。在这七种培养物的细胞壁中层发现了明显差异。在四种细菌中可见多面体包涵体：排硫硫杆菌、那不勒斯硫杆菌、中间硫杆菌和氧化硫硫杆菌。在排硫硫杆菌的一些细胞中发现了类似于某些光合细菌中存在的层状体。在反硝化硫杆菌中发现了类似间体的结构。中间硫杆菌的一些细胞具有类晶体。在一些培养物中还存在其他包涵体，可能是异染粒和多糖。
