Electron microscope investigation of intracellular membrane structures of Bd. bacteriovorous during its intracellular growth and development has been carried out. Increased amount of membrane structures has been stated. Along with simply organized invaginations of plasmalemma, complicated membrane structures resembling mesosomes of grampositive bacteria are observed. Localization of these structures testifies to their involvement in the synthesis of exotoxins and exoenzymes.
