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.

Bioreactivity of peptidoglycan in seawater [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2007
The components of bacterial peptidoglycan (PG), D-amino acids and muramic acid, have been identified as constituents of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM), suggesting that PG is a possible component of the recalcitrant DOM. However, little is known about the bioreactivity of PG directly released from bacterial cells.

Surface Performance of Bioactive Glass–Polycaprolactone–Gelatin Nanocomposite Coating on Anodized Ti6Al4V Alloy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polymer‐ceramic coatings improve Ti implants by enhancing biocompatibility, reducing immune responses, and aiding tissue repair. This study evaluates electrospraying a polycaprolactone‐gelatin‐bioactive glass coating on Ti6Al4V alloy, assessing its physical, electrochemical, corrosion resistance, and biological properties to optimize Ti‐based implants ...

A Single Dual-Function Enzyme Controls the Production of Inflammatory NOD Agonist Peptidoglycan Fragments by Neisseria gonorrhoeae

mBio, 2017
Neisseria gonorrhoeae gonococcus (GC) is a Gram-negative betaproteobacterium and causative agent of the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. During growth, GC releases lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and peptidoglycan (PG) fragments, which contribute ...

Cryo-Electron Tomography Elucidates the Molecular Architecture of Treponema pallidum, the Syphilis Spirochete [PDF]

, 2009
Cryo-electron tomography (CET) was used to examine the native cellular organization of Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete. T. pallidum cells appeared to form flat waves, did not contain an outer coat and, except for bulges over the basal bodies ...
