The cell wall structure, arrangement of photosynthetic membranes, and the attachment of flagella of Ectothiorhodospira mobilis strain 8112 were examined by using freeze-etching and conventional electron microscopic techniques. The outer coat of the multilayered cell wall is comprised of 50 A repeating subunits, arranged in a regular array. The photosynthetic membranes, which originate from and are attached to the plasma membrane, are arranged in a more complex pattern than previously seen in other bacteria. The tuft of flagella in E. mobilis is inserted into a polar organelle. The relationship of this organelle to the polar membrane and the mechanism of attachment of the flagella to the polar organelle is discussed.
运用冷冻蚀刻和传统电子显微镜技术，对运动外硫红螺菌8112菌株的细胞壁结构、光合膜排列以及鞭毛附着情况进行了研究。多层细胞壁的外层由50埃的重复亚基组成，呈规则排列。起源于质膜并附着于质膜的光合膜，其排列方式比之前在其他细菌中所见的更为复杂。运动外硫红螺菌的鞭毛束插入到一个极性细胞器中。本文讨论了该细胞器与极性膜的关系以及鞭毛附着于极性细胞器的机制。
