Radioautographic Evidence for Equatorial Wall Growth in a Gram-positive Bacterium
Studies of bacterial wall growth, employing fluorescent antibodies to label specific areas of the growing walls, have suggested that in Gram-positive bacteria wall growth occurs by the intercalation of newly synthesized wall materials into discrete, specific equatorial zones of the preexistent wall (2, 3, 5, 11) . In the Gram-positive bacterium, Diplococcus pneumoniae, choline is required for g...
متن کاملMechanical consequences of cell-wall turnover in the elongation of a Gram-positive bacterium.
A common feature of walled organisms is their exposure to osmotic forces that challenge the mechanical integrity of cells while driving elongation. Most bacteria rely on their cell wall to bear osmotic stress and determine cell shape. Wall thickness can vary greatly among species, with Gram-positive bacteria having a thicker wall than Gram-negative bacteria. How wall dimensions and mechanical p...
متن کاملIdentification of a cell-wall channel in the corynemycolic acid-free Gram-positive bacterium Corynebacterium amycolatum.
As part of a comparative study of the cell wall of corynebacteria, a channel-forming protein was characterized in Corynebacterium amycolatum, a species devoid of corynemycolic acids. Corynebacterium amycolatum cells were disrupted and the cell envelope subjected to two different separation procedures, differential centrifugation to separate the different fractions of the cell envelope, and sucr...
متن کاملEvidence for direct electron transfer by a gram-positive bacterium isolated from a microbial fuel cell.
Despite their importance in iron redox cycles and bioenergy production, the underlying physiological, genetic, and biochemical mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer by Gram-positive bacteria remain insufficiently understood. In this work, we investigated respiration by Thermincola potens strain JR, a Gram-positive isolate obtained from the anode surface of a microbial fuel cell, using i...
متن کاملKineococcus radiotolerans sp. nov., a radiation-resistant, gram-positive bacterium.
A gram-type positive, motile, coccus-shaped organism was isolated from a radioactive work area. Strain SRS30216T is an orange-pigmented bacterium that is catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and urease-negative. The orange pigment is most likely a carotenoid with absorption peaks at approximately 444, 471 and 501 nm. Cells normally grew in clusters, but individual, motile, flagellated cells were...
