  • Title: [The ultrastructural organization of Brucella L forms and revertant cultures].
    Author: Bazikov IA, Bondarenko AI.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1991 Jan; (1):17-20. PubMed ID: 1907071.
    Abstract:
    The submicroscopic organization of Brucella cells in the process of L-transformation and reversion has been studied. As revealed in this study, at its initial stages L-transformation is accompanied by the loss of cell-wall peptidoglycan and by considerable polymorphism of Brucella cells. Further stages are characterized by the presence of a great number of closed annular membrane structures both in the cytoplasm and outside the cells. At late stages of L-transformation the destruction of the cytoplasm and the cells has been found to occur. In revertant cultures the restoration of the cell wall has been noted.
