Tanaka, H. (The Rockefeller University, New York, N.Y.), W. T. Hall, J. B. Sheffield, and D. H. Moore. Fine structure of Haemobartonella muris as compared with Eperythrozoon coccoides and Mycoplasma pulmonis. J. Bacteriol. 90:1735-1749. 1965.-Thin sections of filterable hemolytic anemia agent of rat, now identified as Haemobartonella muris, revealed (i) that the agent is spherical or ellipsoidal and 350 to 700 mmu in size, (ii) that it has a single limiting membrane enclosing granules and some filaments (neither cell wall nor nucleoid was found), and (iii) that it is found preferentially at the surface and sometimes within the cytoplasmic vacuoles of erythrocytes in the circulating blood and bone marrow, and multiplies there through binary fission. No specific structure suggestive of motility was found. From the morphological point of view, Eperythrozoon coccoides was found to be very similar to H. muris, whereas Mycoplasma pulmonis, also covered with a single limiting membrane, differs in its pleomorphism and multiplication. These and some other microorganisms taxonomically between bacteria and viruses were compared morphologically, and their possible classification is discussed.
田中，H.（纽约洛克菲勒大学），W. T. 霍尔，J. B. 谢菲尔德，以及D. H. 摩尔。与球状附红细胞体和肺炎支原体相比，鼠血巴尔通体的精细结构。《细菌学杂志》90:1735 - 1749。1965年。——现已鉴定为鼠血巴尔通体的大鼠可滤过性溶血性贫血病原体的超薄切片显示：（i）该病原体呈球形或椭圆形，大小为350至700毫微米；（ii）它有一层单一的界膜，包裹着颗粒和一些细丝（未发现细胞壁和拟核）；（iii）它优先存在于循环血液和骨髓中红细胞的表面，有时也存在于细胞质空泡内，并通过二分裂在那里繁殖。未发现提示有运动性的特定结构。从形态学角度来看，球状附红细胞体与鼠血巴尔通体非常相似，而同样覆盖有一层单一界膜的肺炎支原体在多形性和繁殖方面有所不同。对这些以及其他一些在分类学上介于细菌和病毒之间的微生物进行了形态学比较，并讨论了它们可能的分类。
