The flagellins of Methanospirillum hungatei strains JF1 and GP1, Methanococcus deltae, and Methanothermus fervidus are glycosylated. Isolated flagellar filaments from these organisms are dissociated by low concentrations (0.5% (v/v)) of Triton X-100. Flagellar filaments from other methanogens (Methanococcus voltae, Methanococcus vannielii and Methanoculleus marisnigri) composed of non-glycosylated flagellins are resistant to Triton X-100 treatment. Consequently, the isolation techniques (employing Triton X-100) used to isolate basal body-hook-filament complexes in eubacteria may not be applicable to many methanogens.
亨氏甲烷螺菌菌株JF1和GP1、三角洲甲烷球菌及嗜热甲烷栖热菌的鞭毛蛋白是糖基化的。从这些生物体中分离出的鞭毛丝可被低浓度(0.5%(v/v))的 Triton X-100解离。来自其他产甲烷菌(沃氏甲烷球菌、万氏甲烷球菌和黑海甲烷袋状菌)的由非糖基化鞭毛蛋白组成的鞭毛丝对Triton X-100处理具有抗性。因此,用于在真细菌中分离基体-钩-鞭毛丝复合物的分离技术(使用Triton X-100)可能不适用于许多产甲烷菌。
