N2 - The structure of the surface of colonies of various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria was examined by transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that bacterial colonies in the course of their development produce a film which becomes thicker with increased duration of growth. The basic part of the film is an elementary membrane, which is a stable structure with a large surface area. The inner and outer surfaces of the film membrane are covered by amorphous layers. These layers are thicker in the surface film of Gram-negative bacterial colonies than in those of Gram-positive bacteria.
