A new type of bacterial cell wall structure revealed by replica technique
article
The exterior of the cell wall of a photo-organotrophic, gram-negative, motile bacterium was investigated by means of the pre-shadowed replica technique. A detailed description of the technique is given. Replicas of intact cells show bacterial cell walls with a striated structure. The surface is composed of areas of different size and shape, each with its own direction of striation. The periodicity of the striae is ca. 130 Å. © 1964 Swets & Zeitlinger.
