Surface structure of gliding bacteria after freeze-etching.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrastructural studies of gliding bacteria demonstrate 10- to 11-nm beads on the inner surface of the outer bilayer of Cytophaga columnaris. These were not found in Myxococcus xanthus. On treatment with glutaraldehyde and ethanol, the beads appear in linear arrays.

Surface structure of yeast protoplasts.
The fine structure of the yeast cell wall during protoplast formation was studied by means of phase-contrast microscopy and the freeze-etching technique. The freeze-etching results indicated that at least in some cases the entire wall substance was not removed from the surface of the protoplasts. After a treatment of 30 min to 3 hr with 2% snail enzymes, an innermost thin wall layer as well as ...
متن کاملIsolation of Herpetosiphon giganteus and Ultrastructure Analysis by Electron Microscopy
Herpetosiphon giganteus is a filamentous gliding bacterium. Gliding motility is the movement of the cells over surfaces without the aid of flagella. The mechanism responsible for bacterial gliding motility has not been known and there are only a few data on Herpetosiphon giganteus. The aim of this study was to observe the ultrastructure and negative staining of isolated strains of Herpetosiphon...
متن کاملInfluence of Gliding Arc Cold Plasma Based on Argon, Helium and Compact Air on Bactria Around the Wound: Experimental Investigation
Background: Today, the use of cold plasma and its applications have taken into consideration. The plasma is a mixture of active oxygen and negative ions. This compound has a practical effect on the elimination of all types of bacteria and viruses. The cold plasma feature is essential and very useful in disinfecting processes. In this investigation, we plan to study the effect of gliding arc pla...
متن کاملEnvelope of mouse mammary tumor virus studied by freeze-etching and freeze-fracture techniques.
As part of a study of the cell surface changes associated with the production of murine mammary tumor virus, the structure of the envelope of this virus has been examined by using freeze-fracture techniques. Both fracture and deep-etch surfaces were examined. The fracture faces contain 10-nm spheres comparable to those observed on fractured plasma membranes, although fewer in number. Surfaces e...
متن کاملComparison of Aerobic Sporadic Bacilli Structure with Electron Microscopy
I. The existence of differences and similarities in the sur- 4. face features not only of different organisms or groups but also within given species has been demonstrated by a variety of techniques. 2. The different reactions of various organisms to the Gram stain might well be taken as one piece of evidence, the use of the electron microscop and associated preparative techniques (includi...
