| Comments |
P.271 right column bottom paragraph: "In contrast to this, the simple
plunge-freezing in either stationary
or rapidly moving cryogenic liquid
(propane, Freon 13) reveals a cell envelope with a slightly wavy surface
in both cell strains and a much less
pronounced periplasmic space separating
IM [inner membrane]and OM [outer membrane] (Fig. 3a, showing E. coli
K29). In cross sections, the OM profile is of approximately equal contrast in the outer and inner leaflet, and measures 13±1.0nm." See BNID 104911, 104912, 101276, 103948 |
