Polysaccharides were located along the cell wall and developing cross-walls in young vegetative forms and along the developing cortex in sporulating bacilli. The results are discussed in relation to morphological and chemical studies. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-52-3-467
