No evidence was obtained that such gross variations occur. Inadequate initial purification and subsequent contamination between strains of different physiological types, were found to produce effects which could be mistaken for such changes., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-13-3-533
