Intracellular deposition of sulfur by Sphaerotilus natans.
During the course of studies of the bacterial and algal flora of creek waters we were puzzled by the absence of any representatives of the genus Thiothrix from samples in which there was a regular and abundant growth of Beggiatoa species. Associated with Beggiatoa in many of these samples was the colorless sheathed organism Sphaerotilus natans. In view of the very gross similarity of Sphaerotil...

متن کاملChemotaxis by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus toward prey.
A chemotaxis assay system that uses a modified Boyden chamber was characterized and used for measurements of chemotaxis by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strain UKi2 toward several bacterial species. Bacteria tested included both susceptible and nonsusceptible cells (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus megaterium, and B. bacteriovorus strains UKi2 and D). None was attractive to bdel...
متن کاملChemotaxis toward amino acids by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Chemotaxis toward amino acids by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorous strain UKi2 was studied by the capillary technique of Adler (J. Gen. Microbiol. 74:77-91, 1973). Chemotaxis was shown to be optimal when the capillaries were incubated at between 15 and 40 degrees C for 30 min; the optimal pH was between 7.0 and 8.2. The chemotactic response was proportional to the density of the suspension of bdellov...
متن کاملComposition of an extracellular poly-saccharide produced by Sphaerotilus natans.
The capsular polysaccharide of Sphaerotilus natans has been isolated, purified, and analyzed. Chromatographic and chemical analyses performed on acid hydrolyzates of the purified material have shown that the major components are fucose, galactose, glucose, and glucuronic acid in approximately equimolar amounts. Glucose and glucuronic acid are believed to occur as an aldobiuronic acid unit.
