Outer membrane-peptidoglycan complex from Brucella abortus was separated from cytoplasmic membrane and cytosol by either sucrose density gradient fractionation or differential (rate) centrifugation of surface labeled cells disrupted by sonication without the use of detergents. The outer membrane-peptidoglycan complex had a buoyant density of 1.22 gm/ml and contained 67 labeled SDS-soluble proteins when examined by SDS-PAGE. Included were four major bands exhibiting molecular masses of 88k, 40k, 35.7k and 26k daltons corresponding to previously described group 1, 2 and 3 outer membrane proteins. Lysozyme treatment of outer membrane-peptidoglycan complex increased its buoyant density to 1.25 gm/ml and released eight additional peptidoglycan-linked proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010457 Peptidoglycan A structural polymer of the bacterial cell envelope consisting of sugars and amino acids which is responsible for both shape determination and cellular integrity under osmotic stress in virtually all bacteria. Murein,Pseudomurein
D002003 Brucella abortus A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected. Bacterium abortus,Brucella melitensis biovar abortus
D002499 Centrifugation, Density Gradient Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities. At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
