CHARACTERISTIC CELL WALL STRUCTURE OF A FUSOBACTERIUM

Reduction Sites of Tetrazolium Salts and Tellurite in Clostridium Botulinum and Clostridium Tetani

“…Such electron-transparent spaces were thought to be due to the dissolution of formazans by the treatment of lipophilic solvents like alcohol during the dehydration process, or to the vacuolization caused by the liberation of f ormazans from the cells. The same authors (15) also found in sections of the same organism that reduced metallic tellurium was deposited and aggregated in the immediate environment of the cytoplasmic membrane and the ICMS. KAWATA and INouE (16) investigated the reduction sites of potassium tellurite and of the tetrazolium salts in Listeria monocytogenes, employing negative staining and ultrathin sectioning techniques.…”

Fine Structure of Strictly Anaerobic, Non‐Spore‐Forming, Gram‐Negative Bacilli

“…bacteria [24]. Recently, under usual physiological conditions, the formation of mesosomes and the transverse septum were found in the dividing cells of Neisseria gonorrhocae [11], N. meningitidis [4], Chondrococcus [19], Asticcacaulis [20], Chlorobium [5],Veil/one/la [2], Fusobacterium polymorphum [26], and marine Achromobacter [30,31]. In E. coli no mesosomes but transverse septum was found [7].…”
