Comparison of Aerobic Sporadic Bacilli Structure with Electron Microscopy
Authors
Abstract:
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 (including direct shadows, thin sections, negative stains, and freeze-etches) provided clear indications and details for such variations. 3. Many of these preparative procedures when used alone, however, do not provide adequate views, and thereby sufficient information, to permit the desired comprehension of the three dimensional nature of the cell surface. Direct shadows or the preparation of carbon replicas by the use of metals of fine grain (e.g., platinum-carbon) afford the opportunity to determine the characteristics of cell surfaces and to provide cleares understanding of the nature of such surfaces than is possible with negative staining. It is thus possible to observe, for example, not only gross morphological features but also globular or meshlike surfaces with these techniques; clearly, however, only exposed surfaces can be viewed. When spores of B. polymyxa and B. fastidiosus are compared by means of the carbon replica the utility of the freeze-etching approach, particularly for analysis of surface structures and their component layers, becomes readily appeant.

Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli
A total of 434 clinical aerobic gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested against LY127935, a new 1-oxa cephalosporin, and compared with other cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides by a broth microdilution technique. Cefotaxime (HR756), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, and LY127935 were more active, and showed lower minimun inhibitory concentrations (rantes, -O.12 to 2.0 ,ug/ml)...

Scanningelectron microscopy (SEM) has been utilized to examine the morphology and topography alterations in the surface of Poly(Lactic Acid)(PLA) fabrics due to UV/Ozoneirradiation. In the past decade, a growing attention in the usage of “Green Techniques” in industrial applications has been observed owing to many benefits such as low impurities and their relatively low cost to substitute th...
full textExtracellular hemolysins of aerobic sporogenic bacilli.
Forty-five strains, representing 18 species of the genus Bacillus, were surveyed for production of hemolysin against rabbit erythrocytes. Broth cultures of B. cereus, B. alvei, and B. laterosporus contained lysins that closely resembled streptolysin O. B. subtilis and a single strain of B. cereus may produce lysins having characteristics different from those of streptolysin O.
