Internal membrane control in Azotobacter vinelandii.

J L Pate, V K Shah, W J Brill

    Journal of Bacteriology
    |June 1, 1973
    PubMed
    Summary

    Azotobacter vinelandii internal membrane networks were studied. Oxygen appears to regulate the amount of internal membrane structure, with more observed in later growth stages.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Azotobacter vinelandii is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium.
    • Internal membrane networks are crucial for bacterial functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the formation and regulation of internal membrane networks in Azotobacter vinelandii.
    • To determine the influence of different nitrogen sources and growth phases on membrane structure.

    Main Methods:

    • Culturing Azotobacter vinelandii with various nitrogen sources (N(2), NH(4)(+), NO(3)(-)).
    • Electron microscopy of thin cell sections to visualize internal membrane structures.
    • Comparing membrane content across different growth phases (early vs. late exponential).

    Main Results:

    • Internal membrane networks were observed in Azotobacter vinelandii grown on different nitrogen sources.
    • Cells in late exponential growth exhibited more extensive internal membrane networks than those in early exponential growth.
    • A potential regulatory role for oxygen (O(2)) in internal membrane formation was suggested.

    Conclusions:

    • The amount of internal membrane structure in Azotobacter vinelandii is influenced by growth phase.
    • Oxygen likely plays a role in regulating the development of internal membrane networks.
