Ultrastructure of Treponema microdentium and Borrelia vincentii.

Abstract:

:Bladen, Howard A. (National Institute of Dental Health, Bethesda, Md.), and Edward G. Hampp. Ultrastructure of Treponema microdentium and Borrelia vincentii. J. Bacteriol. 87:1180-1191.-A small oral Treponema (FM) and Borrelia vincentii (N9) were harvested after 3 to 7 days of incubation and either embedded in Vestopal W or negatively stained with phosphotungstate. The protoplasmic cylinders of both strains were identical except for size, and had a triple-structured cell wall as well as intracellular concentric laminations. Protoplasmic cylinders of both strains were enclosed in a cell envelope which appeared amorphous in negatively stained preparations, but which had a triple-structured wall when viewed in thin sections. The cell envelope of strain FM also acted as an envelope for the terminal filament; no filament envelope was evident in strain N9. Large structures which contained variable numbers of organisms and which were representative of spirochetal granules were observed. Protoplasmic cylinders contained within such granules frequently were devoid of cell envelopes. The axial filament consisted of several individual fibers which usually terminated in small end knobs. Occasionally, a fiber of the axial filament became a fiber of the terminal filament. Fibers of the terminal filament originated in end knobs similar to, but separate from, those to which the axial filament was attached. A periodicity of 60 A was occasionally observed in the terminal filament envelope of strain FM. A microperiodicity of approximately 20 A was also observed. The fibers of the terminal filament of strain N9 were composed of a large number of fibrils approximately 15 A wide. The periodicity and fibrillar structure of the terminal filament is discussed with reference to proposed models of bacterial flagella suggested by X-ray diffraction data.
