The cell envelope of Thermoproteus tenax: three-dimensional structure of the surface layer and its role in shape maintenance

The sulphur-dependent archaebacterium Thermoproteus tenax has a cylindrical cell shape variable in length, but constant in diameter. Its whole surface is covered by a regular protein layer (S-layer). The lattice has p6 symmetry and a lattice constant of 32.8 nm. The three-dimensional reconstruction...
