Surface films of Escherichia coli colonies

Surface films of Escherichia coli colonies

Escherichia coli colony surfaces were examined using SEM and TEM. The results indicated that bacterial colonies in the course of their development produce surface films which become thicker with increased growth duration. Membrane vesicles contribute to the formation of the surface film. The complex...

Zusammenfassung:Escherichia coli colony surfaces were examined using SEM and TEM. The results indicated that bacterial colonies in the course of their development produce surface films which become thicker with increased growth duration. Membrane vesicles contribute to the formation of the surface film. The complex organization of the film suggests that it may perform specific functions.
