(university of western ontario, london, ontario, canada). sporulation in protoplasts and its dependence on prior forespore development. j. bacteriol. 87:667-675. 1964.-phase-contrast and electron microscopy were used to decide whether cells from late growth or sporulating cultures could, where converted into protoplasts, complete the process of sporulation. the cell wall was found essential to the development of the forespore. incomplete forespores formed a satellite protop ... | 1964 | 14127584 |
| fate of the mesosomes of bacillus megaterium during protoplasting. | fitz-james, philip (university of western ontario, london, canada). fate of the mesosomes of bacillus megaterium during protoplasting. j. bacteriol. 87:1483-1491. 1964.-when cells of bacillus megaterium growing rapidly in peptone medium are treated with sucrose buffer prior to protoplasting, their membranous organelles or mesosomes are extruded as a collection of vesicles into the wall-membrane interspace. on subsequent protoplast formation with lysozyme digestion, the mesosome remnants become d ... | 1964 | 14188732 |
