摘要
Polyhooks from certain non-flagellated mutants of Salmonella and Escheriohia coli are known to be helix-shaped under physiological conditions. However, two non-helical forms were found to occur in isolated polyhooks under appropriate conditions. One form is straight, and appeared when the pH was decreased to 3.2 or lower. The helical-to-straight transformation was reversible. The other form is a doughnut with a fairly constant diameter of above 0.1 μm, which was produced when polyhooks were heated at 75 °C in the absence of salts. © 1979.
