Comparative ultrastructure of the thiobacilli.

Abstract:

:The ultrastructure of seven Thiobacillus species was studied. The structure of their cell envelopes is similar, if not identical, to that found in other gram-negative bacteria. Obvious differences were noted in the middle layer of the cell envelope of the seven cultures. Polyhedral inclusion bodies were apparent in four of the organisms: T. thioparus, T. neapolitanus, T. intermedius, and T. thiooxidans. Lamellar bodies, similar to those present in certain photosynthetic bacteria were found in a few cells of T. thioparus. Structures resembling mesosomes were discovered in T. dinitrificans. A few cells of T. intermedius possessed paracrystalline bodies. Other inclusions, probably volutin and polysaccharide, were present in some of the cultures.

  • New mutation (mmrA1) in Escherichia coli K-12 that affects minimal medium recovery and postreplication repair after UV irradiation.

    abstract::After UV irradiation, Escherichia coli uvrA mutant cells show higher survival on minimal than on rich growth medium, i.e., they show minimal-medium recovery. This effect of rich growth medium on survival is not observed in a uvrA mutant carrying an mmrA1 mutation, and the uvrA mmrA strain showed the same survival rate...
