striking feature of these bacteria is an intracytoplasmic membrane system which appears to
be an extension of septa of dividing bacteria. The possible function of these structures and
their relationship to the plasma membrane and other types of intracytoplasmic membranes
found in pneumococcus is discussed.

Abstract
The fine structure of an unencapsulated strain of Diplococcus pneumoniae is described. A striking feature of these bacteria is an intracytoplasmic membrane system which appears to be an extension of septa of dividing bacteria. The possible function of these structures and their relationship to the plasma membrane and other types of intracytoplasmic membranes found in pneumococcus is discussed.
