چکیده

Analysis of oxidase and dehydrogenase activities, cytochrome content of mesosomal vesicles, and protoplast membranes showed that the respiratory chain in Staphylococcus aureus is associated predominantly with the protoplast membranes.

Electron microscopy during release and purification of mesosomal vesicles and protoplast membranes from Staphylococcus aureus.

The mesosomes of log-phase Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P and Staphylococcus aureus phage-type 80/81, as seen in situ in ultrathin sections, were of the vesicular type. The constituent vesicles ranged from 35 to 50 nm in diameter when the glutaraldehyde-osmium-uranium-lead sequence of fixation and staining was used. During protoplasting in hypertonic buffer containing a muralytic enzyme, vesi...

Degradation of phospholipid and release of diglyceride-rich membrane vesicles during protoplast formation in certain gram-positive bacteria.

Membrane phospholipid was found to be hydrolyzed presumably by an intracellular phospholipase C, and diglyceride-rich membrane vesicles were released from the cells during protoplast formation in Bacillus cereus Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus lysodeikticus, and Staphylococcus aureus. The released membranes consisted mainly of small vesicles of 50 to 100 nm in diameter. They have a lower density...

Membrane Fractions from Micrococcus lysodeikticus

1. A method is described for the isolation of pure mesosomal membrane fractions from Micrococcus lysodeikticus. 2. Plasmolysis of cells, before wall digestion, was necessary for effective mesosome release. 3. The effect of mild shearing forces, temperature and time upon the release of mesosomal membrane from protoplasts was investigated. 4. The optimum yield of mesosomal membranes from stable p...

Cellular location of alpha-hemolysin in Staphylococcus aureus.

Protoplast fractionation techniques were used to prepare subcellular fractions of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus for the analysis of alpha-hemolysin activity. More than 90% of the cellular hemolytic activity was localized in the periplasm, only a trace was detected in the cytoplasm, and none was found in either plasma membranes or mesosomes. This cellular portion constituted approximate...

Determination of hemolysine genes frequency in antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from wound and urine samples of patients

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium that can target host cell membranes with virulence factors such as toxins and peptides. This study was evaluated the frequency of alpha, beta, and delta hemolysine genes in antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients' urine and wound samples. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 100 a...
