studies of the cell envelope of vibrio para-haemolyticus a55: isolation and purification of bag-shaped peptidoglycan (murein sacculus).the peptidoglycan (pg) component of the envelope of vibrio parahaemolyticus a55 was studied in relation to the salt dependency of the organism. a bag-shaped pg (murein sacculus) was isolated and purified by digestion of freshly harvested intact whole cells with sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and then protease treatment. whole cells lyze in salt-deficient or hypotonic conditions and this can be measured by turbidometry. lysis is prevented by addition of 0.35 m nacl or acidification to below ph 4.5. ...19761016218
isolation of a small rod with lytic activity against vibrio parahaemolyticus from fresh sea water.a small rod, capable of formine crater-like plaques on lawns of vibrio parahaemolyticus, was isolated from a marine environment. the isolate was a gram-negative straight rod with round ends and was small in size, equal to that of halophilic bdellovibrio strain 5501. the isolate appeared to have close taxonomic relationships to cytophaga, since this bacterium moved slowly in a gliding manner on a solid agar surface, hydrolyzed agar and starch, contained yellow pigment and was halophilic. the isol ...19761018344
