Cell Envelope of an Iron-Oxidizing Bacterium: Studies of Lipopolysaccharide and Peptidoglycan

Abstract: Further structural detail is presented of the cell envelope of the chemolithotroph Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans ( Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ). Thin sections of purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan show structures comparable to those seen in the envelope of intact cells, whereas negative stains of LPS appear as sheets, or ribbons, or both. The sugars common to LPS, namely, heptose, glucose, galactose, mannose, and 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonate, were iden… Show more

“…In addition to phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glyceroland phosphatidyl serine were used as references. They both had a slower migration rate than phosphatidyl ethanolamine and did not correspond to any of the spots seen on sulfuric the same as those of the sugar analysis described previously and also described byWang et al (1970). The results of this analysis are shown inTable 942%) and stearic acid (0.19%).…”

“…The effect of this cation on some of their biological properties and the conditions that led to the possible release of Cu2" from the complex were studied. Other cations, however, are also present in cell walls and in LPS (3,5,8,23) and, under certain conditions, may influence their properties. It is not clear to what extent they are structural components of the complex with a definite function or are non-specifically adsorbed as a consequence of contamination during the course of the isolation and purification procedures.…”
