Rapid and simple method for double staining of bacteria with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled antibodies.
Bacteria were either heat fixed on microscope slides or filtered with 0.2 micron-pore-size Nuclepore filters. The samples were stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for total staining and with polyvalent rabbit antibodies and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated swine anti-rabbit antibodies for specific staining. By switching between two different optical filter packages in the mic...
متن کاملSurvival of Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio salmonicida at different salinities.
The fish pathogenic bacteria Vibrio anguillarum and V. salmonicida showed the capacity to survive for more than 50 and 14 months, respectively, in seawater microcosms. A salinity of 5% proved lethal to V. anguillarum harvested in the late-exponential growth phase, whereas a salinity of 9% was lethal to the bacterium after it had been starved at a salinity of 30% for 67 days. The lethal salinity...
متن کاملA Simple Method for Staining the Capsules of Bacteria.
The possession of mucinous envelopes by certain bacteria, apart from their purely morphological interest, has a great value in the identification of such organisms and many methods have been devised for their demonstration. The number of such methods however argues against any one being completely satisfactory. The introduction of a new technique into this already overcrowded field can be justi...
متن کاملRapid batch method for the preparation of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibody.
A rapid, reproducible, and relatively simple method for the preparation of large quantities of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibody is presented. Tagged globulins with fluorochrome-protein ratios of 1 and 2 were eluted from diethylaminoethyl-cellulose in batch form by using sodium phosphate-buffered 0.1 M and 0.2 M saline, respectively. The intensity and specificity of the fluorescenc...
متن کاملUse of the fluorochrome 4'6-diamidino-2-phenylindole in genetic and developmental studies of chloroplast DNA
Use of the DNA-specific fluorochrome 4'6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) makes it possible to examine in situ the structure of chloroplast DNA (chDNA) with the fluorescence microscope. This simplifies the study of genetic and developmental changes in chloroplast DNA. Three examples are presented. (a) Wild-type Euglena gracilis B contains several chloroplast DNA nucleoids per chloroplast. A yell...
