Almost 85 years have elapsed since it was first claimed by Klebs (1877) that mycobacteria can exist in various forms. Still, in spite of excellent descriptions on the form variation of mycobacteria, and despite continuous observations on developmental processes in the warm stage, serial micrographs showing the origin and the further development of aberrant forms have never been presented. The main purpose of studying the cytogenetics of mycobacteria was to show on serial phase-contrast micrographs the different modes of multiplication and thus to eliminate any suspicion of contamination or involution serving as the source of origin of aberrant forms.
