Abstract excerpt
In situ identification of whole fixed bacterial cells by hybridization with fluorescently labeled, rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes is often limited by low signal intensities. In addition to an impermeability of the cell periphery and a low cellular rRNA content, the three-dimensional structure of the ribosome may hinder the access of oligonucleotides to their target sites. Until now, a systematic study on...
