ABSTRACT
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Bacillus cereus strain TN10, which exhibited chromium resistance and chromium-reducing ability. The whole-genome sequence analysis of strain TN10 will help us to understand its genetic factors involved in the bioremediation of Cr6.
ABSTRACT
High-pressure frozen soybean root nodules were fractured and backscattered electron images were obtained from uncoated samples in a low vacuum scanning electron microscope equipped with a cryo-transfer system. Structures of infected cells were well preserved: numerous symbiosomes, as well as nuclei, plastids and mitochondria were observed without ice crystal damage. After appropriate sublimation of water, bacteria included in symbiosomes were visualized. Membrane accumulation near nuclei, and vesicles and tubular membranes, which possibly contribute to symbiosome membrane formation, could be observed in a near native state. The method promises to be widely applicable to visualize interaction between membranes in various biological systems.
