Native cellular architecture of Treponema denticola revealed by cryo-electron tomography [PDF]

, 2009
Using cryo-electron tomography, we are developing a refined description of native cellular structures in the pathogenic spirochete Treponema denticola. Tightly organized bundles of periplasmic flagella were readily observed in intact plunge-frozen cells.
