| Comments |
p.74 bottom paragraph:"Also with the more recently developed technique of cryoelectron tomography a nucleoid is not always present, e.g. in tomograms of the very small bacterium Spiroplasma melliferum (Fig. 5.2e Ortiz et al. 2006)." p.75 top paragraph:"It remains a question whether the absence of a visible nucleoid in the small cell of Spiroplasma (Fig.5.2e) can be ascribed to its high DNA concentration (see legend Fig.5.2) or to an effect of the cryo-fixation procedure." |
