Surface structure of Azotobactervinelandii cysts as revealed by freeze-cleaving.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Micrographs of freeze-cleaved Azotobacter vinelandii cysts reveal that the surface is composed of several overlapping layers. This observation is consistent with the previously proposed structure of the outer cyst coat.

Demonstration of the Outer Surface of Freeze-etched Red Blood Cell Membranes
Freeze-etching promises to be a valuable technique for the ultrastructural study of cells and subcellular components. The tissue specimen is cleaved while frozen by liquid nitrogen, and the exposed faces are replicated by platinum-carbon shadowing while under high vacuum. Thus, this technique eliminates the artifacts of thin-section microscopy produced by fixation, dehydration, embedding, and h...
متن کاملEffect of ethylenediaminetetraacetate upon the surface of Escherichia coli.
The effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) on the envelope of two strains of Escherichia coli (B and Cla) was studied with freeze-fracturing methods. Untreated cells showed the outer membrane's outer surface with a fine texture of randomly spaced depressions of about 4.5-nm diameter; small areas with symmetrical arrangements of structural surface elements were also observed. The outer mem...

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 (includi...

This current study reports preparation of Nickel-Gadolinium doped Ceria (Ni-GDC) composite via controlled unidirectional freeze casting of aqueous-based GDC slurry completed with nickel infiltrated into the porous GDC samples. Gadolinium doped ceria powder prepared by gel-combustion synthesis method. The oxide powder was confirmed to be the fluorite-structured of Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 solid solution b...
متن کاملLUMENAL PLASMA MEMBRANE OF THE URINARY BLADDER I. Three-Dimensional Reconstruction from Freeze-Etch Images
To determine the three-dimensional structure of the lumenal membrane of transitional epithelium, a study was made of sectioned, negatively stained, and freeze-etched specimens from intact epithelium and membrane fractions from rabbit urinary bladder. Particulate membrane components are confined to plaque regions within which the unit membrane is asymmetric, having a thicker outer leaflet . Tran...
