Scanning and transmission electron microscopy of three strains of Bifidobacterium.

Abstract:

:Scanning and transmission electron microscopy was applied for a morphological study of three strains of Bifidobacterium grown on solid or liquid media. The pronounced pleomorphism of the cultures previously observed by light microscopy was confirmed. A possible sequence of the morphological events during transformation from one to another pleomorphic form is proposed for B. bifidum and B. longum. Ultrastructural differences such as the formation of extensive mesosomal complexes in B. longum and characteristic plasmalemma particles only observed in the B. bifidum mutant are described and discussed.

  • Oxylipin and mitochondrion probes to track yeast sexual cells.

    abstract::When oxylipin and mitochondrion probes, i.e., fluorescing antibodies specific for 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH oxylipins) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123), were added to yeast cells, these probes accumulated mainly in the sexual cells (i.e., both associated with ascospores) and not in the vegetative cells. This suggests incre...
