Abstract: | A novel multicellular form of Methanosarcina mazei S-6 is described. It was termed lamina, and it formed during the exponential growth phase when packets or single cells were grown in 40 mM trimethylamine and a total concentration of 8.3 to 15.6 mM Ca2+ and/or Mg2+, in cultures that were not shaken. A distinct molecular event represented by the increment in expression and a spatial redistribution of an antigen during lamina formation is documented. |
