Binding of metals to cell envelopes of Escherichia coli K-12.

Abstract

As representative of gram-negative bacteria, the isolated and purified envelopes of an Escherichia coli K-12 strain were used to determine metal-binding capacity. The envelopes were suspended in 5 mM metal solutions for 10 min and 23 degrees C, separated and washed by centrifugation, and analyzed for metal by either atomic absorption or X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Of 32 metals tested, large amounts (> 0.9 mumol/mg [dry weight]) of Hf and Os, intermediate amounts (0.1 to 0.4 mumol/mg [dry weight]) of Pb, Zn, Zr, Fe III, Mn, Mo, Mg, Co, and Ce IV, and small amounts (< 0.1 mumol/mg [dry weight]) of Na, K, Rb, Ca, Sr, Cu, Sc, La, Pr, Sm, U, Fe II, Ru, Ni, Hg, Pt, Pd, Au, and In were detected Li and V were not bound to the envelopes. Electron microscopy of unstained, thin-sectioned material provided an electron-scattering profile for localizing the bound metal within the envelope. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis of thin sections detected all metals in single envelope vesicles. These data suggest that most metal deposition occurred at the polar head group regions of the constituent membranes or along the peptidoglycan layer. No leaching of envelope components was detected by monitoring radioactive probes within the lipopolysacc...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
