Immunoelectron microscopic localization of variable proteins on the surface of Mycoplasma bovis
Article Abstract:
Immunogold electron microscopy shows variable surface proteins VspA, VspB, VspC and VspD, labelled with gold particles, to be located on the surface of single Mycoplasma bovis cells unmasked by other structures. Clones expressing different Vsps as well as individual clones of M. bovis show the same distribution patterns of strongly-, weakly- and un-labelled cells. No correlations are found between the number of labelled colonies in immunobinding assay and those in immunoelectron microscopy. M. bovis clones differ in their surface antigens showing high M. bovis variable potential.

Novel thermophilic bacteria producing nitrile-degrading enzymes
Article Abstract:
Thermophilic nitrile-degrading bacterial strains were isolated. Among these is the Bacillus pallidus Dac521 strain. B. pallidus was found capable of growing on medias with acetonitrile, benzonitrile, propionitrile, acetamide, benzamide and propionamide as the only carbon and nitrogen source. Results suggest that b. pallidus Dac521 nitrile hydratase and nitrilase may have significant industrial advantages over their mesophilic counterparts.
