Capsule of Escherichia coli K29: ultrastructural preservation and immunoelectron microscopy.
The polysaccharide capsule of Escherichia coli K29 fully surrounds the microorganism and thus occupies an extracellular space ca. 20 times larger in volume than that of the decapsulated cell. Since more than 95% of the capsule consists of water, dehydration for electron microscopy causes the material to collapse. We describe here a method for embedding the capsule in an uncollapsed form. Dehydr...
متن کاملEscherichia coli capsule bacteriophages. II. Morphology.
The Escherichia coli capsule bacteriophages (K phages) described herein are specific for certain capsular strains of E. coli, all of them test strains for different E. coli K antigens. The phages are not adsorbed to the acapsular mutants of their host organisms nor to similar strains with serologically and chemically different capsular polysaccharides. Thirteen E. coli (and one Klebsiella) K ph...
متن کاملLocalization of the puromycin binding site on the large ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli by immunoelectron microscopy.
By using immunoelectron microscopy, we have localized the binding site on 50S Escherichia coli ribosomal subunits for puromycin, an antibiotic that interacts with the ribosomal peptidyltransferase center. This was achieved by affinity-labeling 50S subunits with N-bromoacetyl puromycin and treating the labeled subunits with an antibody specific for the N6,N6-dimethyladenosine moiety of puromycin...
متن کاملImmunoelectron microscopy of human retroviruses.
The ultrastructural detection and identification of human retroviruses--HTLV (human T-cell lymphotropic virus) and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)--have become an everyday task for pathologists and virologists as well as for cell and molecular biologists. The development of better and conventionally available immunocytochemical techniques, such as pre- or postembedding immunocytochemical met...
متن کاملElectron Microscopy of Plasmolysis in Escherichia Coli.
Cota-Robles, Eugene H. (University of California, Riverside). Electron microscopy of plasmolysis in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 85:499-503. 1963.-Escherichia coli cells plasmolyzed in 0.35 m sucrose reveal plasmolysis at one tip of a cell or in the center of dividing cells in which protoplast partition has been complete. Central plasmolysis reveals that protoplast separation can be complete...
