Abstract excerpt
Cell packets (MT packets) induced from a tetrads-forming mutant (strain MT) of Micrococcus luteus, both treated with chemical reagents and non-treated, were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The agglutinability of MT packets with antiserum containing anti-teichuronic acid antibody was examined. The binding of protein A-gold particles to the MT packets, mediated with the antiserum, was also...
