| Abstract: | The marine cyanobacterium Agmenellum quadruplicatum was shown to possess an extracellular glycocalyx similar in structure to those surrounding other bacteria from a variety of natural environments. Thin sections of cells stained with ruthenium red and frozen-etched preparations of unfixed cells indicated the glycocalyx was a network of small fibrils. The glycocalyx was present during all phases of growth, and was not degraded during nutrient limitation. |
