[interaction of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus with the cytoplasmic membrane of escherichia coli b]. 19744615754
development of bdellophage vl-1 in parasitic and saprophytic bdellovibrios.ultrastructure was correlated with growth kinetics of bdellophage vl-1 infecting host-dependent ("parasitic") bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109j in its escherichia coli b host (the three-membered system), as well as in the host-independent ("saprophytic") derivative of the bdellovibrio. electron microscope observations showed the arrested growth of the phage-infected bdellovibrios, polar localization of the phage progeny, and stages in their release. present evidence indicates that bdellophage dna ...19734128380
a growth initiation factor for host-independent derivatives of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.host-independent (h-i) derivatives of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109 davis could not be isolated when concentrated suspensions of host-dependent (h-d) cultures, washed free of spent medium, were plated on host-free media. however, h-i colonies did appear when spent broth was incorporated into the isolation medium, indicating the presence of a factor in the spent medium essential for the growth of h-i cells. this growth factor (gif) was also present in cell-free extracts of escherichia coli and a ...19734197902

three-membered parasitic system: a bacteriophage, bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, and escherichia coli.two bacteriophages for bdellovibrio bacteriovorus were isolated. one of the phages (vl-1) was isolated on a host-independent bdellovibrio strain, and the other (vl-2) was isolated on a host-dependent strain. both phages grew on host-dependent as well as on host-independent bdellovibrio strains. the development of the phages in host-dependent bdellovibrios occurred only when the phage-infected bdellovibrios parasitized cells of other bacteria. in the absence of other bacteria, the phages adsorbed ...19724552554
nonidentity of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strains 109d and 109j.two strains of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, both designated as 109 in the literature, differ. they should be referred to as 109d and 109j to avoid further confusion.19724109891

early host damage in the infection cycle of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.the effects of bdellovibrio infection on host permeability and respiration were investigated by measuring respiration rates and the rate of o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside hydrolysis during the course of single infection cycles of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strain 109 growing on escherichia coli ml 35 (lac i(-)z(+)y(-)). the data show that among the very early consequences of parasite attack on the host are an increase in permeability and a general disruption of respiratory activity of th ...19704908670
isolation of a bacteriophage for bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.a phage infective for bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was isolated. electron microscopy revealed that it is tail-less, has a hexagonal appearance and two distinct capsomere layers, and is 60 to 70 nm in size. the nucleic acid appears to be single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid. this is the first report of the isolation of a phage infective for b. bacteriovorus.19704191817
facultatively parasitic strain of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.a strain of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (designated strain uki2) was isolated which was capable of growing either saprophytically in host-free medium or endoparasitically in escherichia coli b/r. it was quantitatively determined that each bdellovibrio could develop in solid medium to produce a colony, and 65% of the cells in a late exponential-phase culture were capable of inducing e. coli b/r spheroplasts. a photomicrographic sequence of single e. coli spheroplasts containing bdellovibrios demon ...19704908792
ultrastructure and cell division of a facultatively parasitic strain of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.some aspects of cell development and division of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus strain uki2 were examined by use of electron microscopic techniques. under saprophytic and parasitic conditions of growth, the comma-shaped cells enlarge, elongate, and form helical filaments. the mechanism of division appears to consist of an asymmetrical constriction of the filamentous cell by the cytoplasmic membrane, accompanied by a breakdown of the outer layers of the cell wall in the division region. during regene ...19704908793

isolation and characterization of host-independent bdellovibrios.a reliable method has been developed for the isolation of host-independent (h-i; i.e., "saprophytic") strains of bdellovibrio from host-dependent (h-d; i.e., "parasitic") cultures. the technique involves growing streptomycin-resistant (sm(r)) h-d cultures on streptomycin-susceptible (sm(8)) host cells. a lysate containing large numbers of the sm(r) h-d cells and some remaining sm(8) host cells is transferred to a selection medium which contains the antibiotic. the sm(8) host cells in the lysate ...19694901359
deoxyribonucleic acid characterization of bdellovibrios.the guanine plus cytosine (gc) content of the deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) of 11 isolates of host-dependent (h-d) bdellovibrios and 18 host-independent (h-i) derivatives was determined from thermal denaturation curves and buoyant densities in cscl. the h-d and respective h-i cultures have gc contents which are identical within the limits of experimental error. most cultures of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, including the holotype culture, have 50.4 +/- 0.9 moles% gc in their dna; two bdellovibrio is ...19694901360
interaction of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and host bacteria. ii. intracellular growth and development of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus in liquid cultures.the intracellular life cycle of bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109 growing on escherichia coli in a dilute nutrient medium exhibits a period of constant infective titer while the parasite grows and elongates inside the host cell. this period is terminated after 2 to 4 hr, and the number of the plaque-forming units in the culture rises rapidly to as much as six times the initial titer. the growth pattern of bdellovibrio is similar with actively growing or resting host cells, or with host cells killed ...19694895842
