Ultrastructure of the Surface of Rickettsia prowazeki and Rickettsia akari

Palmer, Erskine L.
RESUMO
Negative-contrast electron microscopy revealed that the outer layer of the envelope of rickettsiae is composed of a matrix of tetragonally arranged subunits. The layer projects approximately 7 nm from the cell wall. It is suggested that this outer layer is analogous to the structure considered capsule-like in morphology.
