Ultrastructure 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 کاملUltrastructure 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 کاملExtremely Thermophilic Marine Bacteria
A novel extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent environment (depth, 22 m) in Tachibana Bay, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The cells of this organism were gramnegative rods. Growth occurred at temperatures between 50 and 85°C (optimum temperature, 80°C; doubling time at optimum temperature, 90 min), at pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH, 7.0), and in the prese...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of pDL10 from Acidianus ambivalens reveals a family of related plasmids from extremely thermophilic and acidophilic archaea.
The 7598-bp plasmid pDL10 from the extremely thermophilic, acidophilic, and chemolithoautotrophic Archaeon Acidianus ambivalens was sequenced. It contains 10 open reading frames (ORFs) organized in five putative operons. The deduced amino acid sequence of the largest ORF (909 aa) showed similarity to bacterial Rep proteins known from phages and plasmids with rolling-circle (RC) replication. Fro...
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...
