Effect of the removal of outer cell wall layers on the actinomycin susceptibility of a gram-negative bacterium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Removal of the outer cell wall layers of a gram-negative marine pseudomonad (B-16) showed that these cells are penetrable by actinomycin D and that, therefore, neither the cytoplasmic membrane nor the peptidoglycan layer constitutes the barrier which excludes this antibiotic from intact cells, but that this barrier is formed by the outer layers of the cell wall which include the lipopolysaccharide component and the double-track layer.

An electron-microscope study of thin sections and negatively stained preparations of intact cells and isolated cell walls of a bacterium which is moderately resistant to ionizing radiation, Acinetobacter strain 199 A, showed that it is similar to other Gram-negative bacteria except for its mode of division and for the fine structure of some of the surface layers. During division the cells form ...

Denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (Mg, Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2·4H2O with several layers for bacterial immobilization. The goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...
