    Revista Brasil. Bot., V.33, n.3, p.425-436, jul.-set. 2010 Ultrastructure of secretory and senescence phase in colleters of Bathysa gymnocarpa and B. stipulata (Rubiaceae)1 EMILIO DE CASTRO MIGUEL2, DENISE ESPELLET KLEIN2,3, MARCO ANTONIO DE OLIVEIRA4 and MAURA DA CUNHA2,5 (received: December 11, 2008; accepted: June 10, 2010) ABSTRACT – (Ultrastructure of secretory and senescence phase in colleters of Bathysa gymnocarpa and B. stipulata (Rubiaceae)). Colleters are secretory structures formed by a parenchymatic axis with vascular bundles, bound by a layer of secretory palisade-like epidermis. Some studies regarding the structure of colleters have focused on secretory cells structure, but not distinguished the secretory and senescent phases. Generally, in mucilage-secreting cells such as colleters, the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are involved in secretion production and transport. In these study, colleters structure of Bathysa gymnocarpa K. Schum. and B. stipulata (Vell.) C. Presl. (Rubiaceae) were determined in two phases: a secretory phase and a senescence one. Samples were collected and processed by usual light and electron microscopy techniques. Studied colleters are constituted by an epidermal palisade layer and a central axis formed by parenchymatic cells with rare vascular traces. During the secretory phase, epidermal cells presented a dense cytoplasm, small vacuoles, enhanced rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and a Golgi apparatus close to large vesicles. During the senescence phase epidermal cells presented a disorganized membrane system. No intact organelles or vesicles were observed. The outer cell wall exhibited similar layers to that observed during the secretory phase. The senescent phase is easily defined by the morphology of the colleters, but not well defined at subcellular level.

  • The Ultrastructure of a Typical Bacterial Cell the Bacterial Cell
    A.Kavitha Assistant professor Department of Botany RBVRR Womens college The Ultrastructure Of A Typical Bacterial Cell The Bacterial Cell This is a diagram of a typical bacterial cell, displaying all of it’s organelle. The Bacterial Cell This is what a bacterial cell looks like under an electron microscope. Bacteria come in a wide variety of shapes Perhaps the most elemental structural property of bacteria is their morphology (shape). Typical examples include: coccus (spherical) bacillus (rod-like) spiral(DNA-like) filamentous (elongated) Cell shape is generally characteristic of a given bacterial species, but can vary depending on growth conditions. Some bacteria have complex life cycles involving the production of stalks and appendages (e.g. Caulobacter) and some produce elaborate structures bearing reproductive spores (e.g. Myxococcus, Streptomyces). Bacteria generally form distinctive cell morphologies when examined by light microscopy and distinct colony morphologies when grown on Petri plates. Perhaps the most obvious structural characteristic of bacteria is (with some exceptions) their small size. For example, Escherichia coli cells, an "average" sized bacterium, are about 2 µm (micrometres) long and 0.5 µm in diameter, with a cell volume of 0.6–0.7 μm3.[1] This corresponds to a wet mass of about 1 picogram (pg), assuming that the cell consists mostly of water. The dry mass of a single cell can be estimated as 23% of the wet mass, amounting to 0.2 pg. About half of the dry mass of a bacterial cell consists of carbon, and also about half of it can be attributed to proteins. Therefore, a typical fully grown 1-liter culture of Escherichia coli (at an optical density of 1.0, corresponding to c.

  • Sample Preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Support Film on TEM Grids Sectioning with Ultramicrotome Positi
    Sample preparation for Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) TEM is a microscopy technique whereby a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultrathin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through it. An image is formed from the electrons transmitted through the specimen, magnified and focused by an objective lens and appears on an imaging screen, a fluorescent screen in most TEMs, plus a monitor, or on a layer of imaging plate, or to be detected by a sensor such as a CCD camera. Biological materials contain large quantities of water. To be able to view it in the electron microscopy, the first stage in preparing is the fixation, one of the most important and most critical stages. We need to fixed it in a way that the ultrastructure of the cells or tissues remain as close to the living material as possible. The sample is then dehydrated through an acetone or ethanol series, passed through a “transition solvent” such as propylene oxide and then infiltrated and embedded in a liquid resin such as epoxy and LR White resin. After embedding the resin block is then thin sectioned by a process known as ultramicrotomy, sections of 50 ‐ 70 nm thickness are collected on metal mesh 'grids' and stained with electron dense stains before observation in the TEM. Sectioning the sample allows us to look at cross‐sections through samples to view internal (ultra)structure. Many modifications to the basic protocol can be applied to achieve many different goals, immunogold labeling for example; the in situ localization of specific tissue constituents using antibody and colloidal gold marker systems.

  • Effect of Freezing on the Ultrastructure of the Spermatozoon of Some Domestic Animals
    EFFECT OF FREEZING ON THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE SPERMATOZOON OF SOME DOMESTIC ANIMALS P. HEALEY Wellcome Institute of Comparative Physiology, Zoological Society of London (Received 2^th January 1968) Summary. Spermatozoa of bull, ram, boar, stallion and chinchilla were examined in the electron microscope before and after freezing of samples of semen in liquid nitrogen. The results showed that the ultra- structure of bull spermatozoa was almost identical before and after treatment, but ram and chinchilla spermatozoa showed consistent damage to the outer membrane and acrosome complex. In the ram, damage ranged from slight swelling of the acrosome to total removal of the cytoplasmic regions and most chinchilla spermatozoa were grossly affected. The spermatozoa of boar presented special difficulties at the fixation stage but gross damage to the acrosome was seen. There appear- ed to be minimal damage to the stallion spermatozoa, although only one sample of this species was examined. INTRODUCTION Following the observations on fowl semen by Polge, Smith & Parkes (1949) of the protective action of glycerol against the deleterious effect of freezing, numerous attempts have been made to preserve the spermatozoa of mammals and light microscope observations on cold damage to spermatozoa are well known (Buttle, Hancock & Purser, 1965) especially in the large domestic mammals. Among these species, successful preservation, as measured by a high conception rate following artificial insemination, has been obtained in the cow in which the use of frozen semen has become standard agricultural practice. The techniques currently used for the freezing of bull semen are similar to those described by Polge & Jakobsen (1959) and Stewart (1961).

We examined the effect of cationic peptides H2N-Arg9-Phe2-C(O)NH2 and H2N-(Lys-Phe-Phe)3-Lys-C(O)NH2 on Staphylococcus aureus, which remains one of the most harmful pathogens. Antiseptic chlorhexidine served as reference preparation. We studied viability of S. aureus and examined its ultrastructure under treatment with 100 µM of R9F2 or (KFF)3K peptides or chlorhexidine using transmission electron microscopy of ultrathin sections. Bacterial cells were sampled as kinetic series starting from 1 min up to 4 h of treatment with preparations. Both peptides caused clearly visible damage of bacteria cell membrane within 1 min. Incubation of S. aureus with R9F2 or (KFF)3K peptides led to cell wall thinning, loss of cytoplasm structure, formation of mesosome-derived multimembrane structures and “decorated fibers” derived from DNA chains.

Or ❖ Viruses are infectious agents having both the characteristics of living and nonliving. Or ❖ Viruses are microscopic obligate cellular parasites, generally much smaller than bacteria. They lack the capacity to thrive and reproduce outside of a host body. Or ❖ Viruses are infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host. Or ❖ Viruses are the large group of submicroscopic infectious agents that are usually regarded as nonliving extremely complex molecules, that typically contain a protein coat surrounding an RNA or DNA core of genetic material but no semipermeable membrane, that are capable of growth and multiplication only in living cells, and that cause various important diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
