Ultrastructure of Brucella abortus L-forms induced by penicillin in a liquid and in a semisolid medium 下载免费PDF全文
Brucella abortus L-forms were induced by 5.0 or 10.0 mug of penicillin/ml in a broth medium containing 0.3 m sucrose, and in a semisolid medium containing 10% calf serum and 20.0, 40.0, or 60.0 mug of penicillin/ml. After 96 hr of incubation, L-forms of various sizes and shapes were observed. Basic structures of the L-forms were similar whether induced in liquid or semisolid medium. L-forms had two "unit" membranes, each consisting of two outer dense layers separated by a lucent layer. A few large, irregularly shaped organisms in penicillin-treated broth cultures had additional surface material and were referred to as "transitional" forms. In contrast with L-forms, the bacterial cells were fairly uniform in size and shape, were smaller, and had a more complex cell wall structure. Small bodies limited by a "unit" membrane were present within and around numerous L-forms from liquid and semisolid medium cultures. Other internal membranous structures were also seen in some L-forms. Most Brucella L-forms described in this paper reverted to bacteria in the absence of penicillin and were structurally characteristic of unstable L-forms. 相似文献

Intracellular production of Brucella L forms . II. Induction and survival of Brucella abortus L forms in tissue culture 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
Hatten, Betty A. (The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dallas), and S. Edward Sulkin. Intracellular production of Brucella L forms. II. Induction and survival of Brucella abortus L forms in tissue culture. J. Bacteriol. 91:14-20. 1966.-Intracellular survival of altered brucellae, possibly L forms, was not greatly affected by penicillin or streptomycin in concentrations ranging from 5.0 to 40 mug/ml, but a combination of these two antibiotics (2.5 to 20 mug/ml each) reduced the number of positive L-form cultures. Tetracycline (2.0 mug/ml) decreased the number of positive L-form cultures at about the same rate as combinations of the higher concentrations of penicillin and streptomycin. Various concentrations of tetracycline (0.1 to 2.0 mug/ml) with 5.0 mug/ml of penicillin or streptomycin significantly reduced the number of positive L-form cultures. L forms were recovered for several days after elimination of bacteria from the cultures by all of the antibiotics tested. L-form production was not dependent upon the presence of antibiotics in the culture medium, but they were recovered in greater numbers when bacteria were still present in the hamster kidney cells. Addition of thallium acetate to infected cells (at varying intervals of time after infection) to control bacterial growth and conversion to the L phase during cellular disintegration decreased the number of positive L-form cultures obtained over a 10-day period. Comparison of the antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria recovered from infected tissue culture cells with the stock strain of Brucella abortus indicated that some resistance to penicillin and tetracycline had developed. A marked resistance to streptomycin was observed in those bacteria recovered from cells maintained in the presence of this antibiotic. 相似文献

Thin sections of hamster kidney tissue cultures were examined by electron microscopy over a 7-day period after infection with Brucella abortus 3183. Numerous bacteria and structures resembling L-forms were present both intracellularly and extracellularly after the first 24 hr of infection. Most intracellular microorganisms were enclosed by a cytoplasmic membrane, but in a few instances no limiting membrane was detected. After 4 to 7 days, fewer microorganisms were present, and most normal-appearing bacteria were intracellular, particularly in antibiotic-treated cultures. Structures typical of Brucella L-forms were extracellular at the latter time intervals. Several structures were observed in cells from infected cultures whose relationship to the infecting organisms is not known. These consisted of various membranous structures within cytoplasmic vacuoles, myelin-like structures surrounding occasional intracellular organisms, and small bodies present within vacuoles and extracellularly. The latter structures observed throughout the experimental period appeared to occur more frequently as the duration of the infection increased. 相似文献

Newly-hatched larvae of the brachyuran crab, Hemigrapsus oregonensis, were raised in the laboratory on an autotrophic dinoflagellate (Prorocentrum micans), a heterotrophic dinoflagellate (Noctiluca milaris), a green alga (Dunaliella tertiolecta), an unfed control, and a fed control of Artemia sp. nauplii. Larvae also were fed preparations of seagrass detritus that had been cultured both to promote microbial colonization and to discourage it. Detrital diets were used both alone and in combination with sub-optimal applications of Artemia sp. nauplii. Larvae raised on P. micans showed survival to zoeal stage II equal to those raised on the Artemia sp. nauplii control, although development was delayed. Larvae raised on N. milaris showed substantial (34.7%) survival to zoeal stage II; however survival was lower and development slower than for Artemia sp. nauplii-fed larvae. Survival on D. tertiolecta was less than 3%. Larvae fed microbially-enriched detritus showed a delay in mortality as compared to unfed controls. No larvae fed solely on detritus survived to zoeal stage II. When larvae were fed a sub-optimal diet of Artemia nauplii, supplemented by detrital particles, survival to zoeal stage II increased, although not to the level shown by Artemia-fed larvae in optimal application. Development was not accelerated over the sub-optimal diet in either treatment. The potential for larval crabs to utilize a wide variety of potential prey immediately upon hatching is significant given their susceptibility to early starvation. Such omnivory also suggests a trophic link between carbon sources of the microbial loop and crab larvae. 相似文献
