Ultrastructure of an anaerobic filamentous oral micro-organism.
Thin sections of an anaerobic filamentous oral organism possibly related to Leptotrichia buccalis have been examined in the electron microscope. The organism exhibited a cell wall profile characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria, viz. a solid membrane and an outer double-layered membrane. The outer membrane could be removed by treating intact cells with trypsin or phenolwater. The organism cont...
متن کاملUltrastructure of an extremely thermophilic acidophilic micro-organism.
A thermoacidophilic micro-organism, isolated from volcanic hot springs near Naples, was cultivated in vitro, and examined by electron microscopy in sections and after negative staining. The cells were almost spherical, with a diameter of about 0.7 to 1.0 mum. Their morphology was very primitive: the protoplasm was composed only of ground cytoplasm, ribosomes, and randomly distributed DNA strand...
متن کاملPneumocystis carinii: an atypical fungal micro-organism.
The purpose of this review is to assist mycologists in having a better understanding of Pneumocystis carinii and the disease that it causes. Now considered to be a fungus, P. carinii is unusual in its life cycle and relationship with the host. P. carinii pneumonia (PCP) pathogenesis, immunology and host defence mechanisms are examined, as well as epidemiological and control strategies. Most pne...
متن کاملIsolation of an oral filamentous microorganism.
In the past, a wide variety of unrelated oral filamentous and rod shaped bacteria were placed either in the genera Leptothrix or Leptotrichia. The confusion resulted from meager studies of many of these organisms, inadequate generic descriptions, and use of the ill-defined word "filamentous." Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology in 1948 stated, "the genus Leptotrichia Trevisan, 1879 is...
متن کاملCell organization and ultrastructure of a magnetotactic multicellular organism.
Magnetotactic multicellular aggregates and many-celled magnetotactic prokaryotes have been described as spherical organisms composed of several Gram-negative bacteria capable to align themselves along magnetic fields and swim as a unit. Here we describe a similar organism collected in a large hypersaline lagoon in Brazil. Ultrathin sections and freeze fracture replicas showed that the cells are...
