The cell envelope of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was studied and compared to that of Escherichia coli. Outer membranes (OM) from both species were isolated by an identical method, and subjected to biochemical analysis. Differences in OM structure were sought that might explain the dissimilarity in OM permeability of these two species. The most pronounced difference appeared to reside in the OM proteins as judged by gel electrophoresis. Moreover, gonococcal OM proteins appeared to be more hydrophilic than those of E. coli.
对淋病奈瑟菌的细胞包膜进行了研究,并与大肠杆菌的细胞包膜进行了比较。通过相同的方法分离了这两个物种的外膜(OM),并进行了生化分析。寻找可能解释这两个物种外膜通透性差异的外膜结构差异。根据凝胶电泳判断,最明显的差异似乎存在于外膜蛋白中。此外,淋球菌的外膜蛋白似乎比大肠杆菌的外膜蛋白更具亲水性。
