643–647. 1965.—A comparison of the roles of the cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane, and cytoplasmic components revealed that the intact cell wall was the dominant contributor to the gram-positive state. Protoplasts of
Bacillus megaterium
were confirmed as being gram-negative, as reported by Gerhardt et al. The “gram-positive protoplast” report of Amano et al. was shown to be a laboratory-produced artifact, resulting from the comparison of smears made from saline suspensions of
Escherichia coli
cells with smears made from formalin-sucrose suspensions of
B. megaterium
protoplasts.
