Most observations of spirochetes come from cultivated microbes or rich animal systems.  This is because of the small size of these bacteria and the technical difficulties associated with resolving them in complex environmental samples.  This movie shows bacteria from a soil sample swimming amongst soil particles and other soil microbes..
