(2) The lowest viscosity that immobilized flagellated bacteria such as Psedomonas aeruginosa, Spirillum serpens, and Escherichia coli was 60 centipoise (cp).
(3) A conditional mutant of S. serpens (T-45) was isolated.
(4) Lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was able to replace that of S. serpens in the template.
(5) Aquaspirillum serpens VHA and MW5 and Aquaspirillum sinuosum were resistant to predation by B. bacteriovorus 6-5-S when fully covered by their S layers.
(6) The techniques described have been used to study the crystal structure of hydrated catalase and the outermost cell wall of Spirillum serpens.
(7) Points of similarity are emphasized between antigen [a] of C. fetus and the outer structural protein of the taxonomically related Spirillum serpens.
(8) An endo-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase which degrades the murein (peptidoglycan) sacculi of the cell walls of Escherichia coli and Spirillum serpens, but not those of Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Sarcina lutea, is present as a contaminant in a "phospholipase C" from Clostridium perfringens.
(9) In comparison, the MIV for the flagellated bacteria Escherichia coli and Spirillum serpens was 60 cp.
(10) Demonstration of a functional flagellin pool in Spirillum serpens and Bacillus subtilis.
(11) Specific regions of the cell envelope associated with the flagellar basal complex of the gram-negative bacterium Aquaspirillum (Spirillum) serpens were identified by studying each of the envelope layers: outer membrane, mucopeptide, and plasma membrane.
(12) Spirillum serpens and Escherichia coli contain in addition to endotoxin the peptidoglycan which is also pyrogenic.
(13) 1966-Exponentially growing cultures of Spirillum serpens and Bacillus subtilis regained motility and flagella within one generation after mechanical deflagellation.
(14) The three-dimensional structure of the protein which forms the S layer of Aquaspirillum serpens strain VHA has been determined by electron microscopy.
(15) The unclassified isolates were differentiated from Flavobacterium meningosepticum, Flavobacterium odoratum, Flavobacterium balustinum, Flavobacterium strain IIb, Chromobacterium violaceum, Aquaspirillum serpens, and Pseudomonas spp.
(16) In both freeze-etched and critical-point dried preparations examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, respectively, the outer surfaces of the cells of Spirillum serpens VHL assume a wrinkled appearance 10-15 min after challenge by Bdellovibrion bacteriovorus 109D.
(17) Antibodies raised against the F1-ATPase of E. coli K12 cross reacted with six proteins in a whole-cell extract of this organism, and one protein species in each of the whole-cell extracts of V. cholera, A. serpens MW5, S. volutans, and rat liver mitochondria.
(18) Polyhydroxybutyrate granules, generally poorly preserved in thin sections of Aquaspirillum serpens, were well preserved by the malachite green-glutaraldehyde fixative.
(19) Isolated walls of Spirillum serpens VHA contained lipid, lipopolysaccharide, and protein in amounts similar to those of other gram-negative organisms.
(20) 136:1037-1049, 1978) on platelike arrays of proteins in outer membrane preparations of Aquaspirillum serpens.
