 note = {The cell morphology of four dominant bacterial species isolated from tilapia intestines was
examined by using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Cell lengths of Bacteroides
sp. ATS, Bacteroides sp. BTS, Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides were 4.0-6.0, 2.5-5.0, 1.5-2.0 and 2.0-2.5 μm, respectively. Some strains of Aeromonas hydrophila
possessed numerous thin pili or fibrils as well as a single polar flagellum and concomitantly
showed the hemagglutination to chicken blood. The cell elongation of Bacteroides sp. ATS was
observed for the cells grown on EG agar under CO_2 gas phase but not under N_2+CO_2 (9:1)
gas phase. The addition of NaCl or MgCl_2 (0.9% w/v) to EG agar repressed the cell
elongation of Bacteroides sp, ATS even if the cells grew under CO_2 gas phase. The cells of
Bacteroides sp. BTS were comparatively slender rod-shaped and did not change apparently in the
cell form under the growth conditions tested in this study.},
