| Method |
EM, Electron Microscopy. P.5968 right column 3rd paragraph: "EM: Two fixation protocols were used. In the standard protocol, cells were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2) for 30 min at room temperature and then in 1% osmium tetroxide in the same buffer for 1 h at 4°C." |

P.5971 left column bottom paragraph: "Formation of polyhedral bodies by S. enterica: S. enterica formed polyhedral structures similar in size and appearance to carboxysomes during aerobic growth on minimal 1,2-propanediol–B12 medium (Fig.1A), but not during aerobic growth on glucose (Fig. 1C). Polyhedra were 100 to 200 nm in cross-section and appeared to consist of a proteinaceous shell and interior. The bodies formed by S. enterica are somewhat irregular in shape compared to the carboxysomes of Thiobacillus neapolitanus, suggesting some differences between these structures (Fig. 1A and B)." |
