Cell surface of a tetrads-forming mutant of Micrococcus luteus: chemical treatment of the cells and teichuronic acids on the surface.

Abstract excerpt

Tetrads-forming mutant MT cells of Micrococcus luteus, both treated with chemical reagents and non-treated, were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The agglutinability of the cells with antiserum containing anti-teichuronic acid antibody was examined. The binding of protein A-gold particles to the cells, mediated with the antiserum, was also observed with SEM. A tetrad surface, not surface of...
