JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY 3

JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY

The Journal of Bacteriology is an official publication of the American Society for Micro- biology. The Journal is devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge concerning bacteria and other microorganisms.

The Journal is published monthly and the twelve numbers are divided into two volumes (January-June and July-December). The subscription price is $20.00 per year, including Bacteriological Reviews ($20.75 in Canada, $22.00 elsewhere). Single copies, when avail- able, $2.00 in the United States, $2.25 elsewhere. Members of the American Society for Microbiology may receive the Journal as part of their dues. All subscriptions should be renewed promptly with the Publishers or their Agents, since a supply of back issues can- not be guaranteed. Renewals and new subscriptions begin with the first volume of the year when subscription is received. A pro-rata adjustment is made in the invoice if any issue is out of print.

Inquiries concerning subscriptions, lost copies, reprints, change of address, and other business matters concerning the Journal of Bacteriology or the Society should be addressed to the American Society for Microbiology, Office of the Executive Secretary, 19875 Mack Avenue, Detroit 36, Michigan.

Enthusiastically Received Now in Second Printing STYLE MANUAL FOR BIOLOGICAL JOURNALS Prepared by: The Committee on Form and Style of the Conference of Biological Editors The Style Manual is designed for biologists preparing manuscripts for publication in scientific journals. Style is interpreted broadly to mean forms of expression in scholarly writing, and the general technical requirements of journals, such as details for typing manuscripts, standard abbreviations, and citation of references. The instructions and recommendations represent good usage and practice. Recommendations proposed by the International Standards Organization, the Interna- tional Council of Scientific Unions Abstracting Board, the International Committee on Weights and Measures, and the American Standards Association were considered carefully by the Committee and adopted. The editorial boards of 78 biological journals have adopted the manual in whole or in part, so as to establish uniform standards in biological publications. Scientists submitting manuscripts to any of the 78 journals should use the Style Manual as a guide. 100 pages/Illustrated/1960 Price $3.00 For orders, please write to: Subscriptions AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2000 P Street, NW, Washington 6, D.C., USA INDEX OF AUTHORS'
