Macromolecular subunits in the walls of marine nitrifying bacteria.
The outteromost laver of the cell wall of all marine ammonia-oxidizing bacteria So far isolated is made up of protein subunits arranged in a regular manner and linked together through metal-oxygen bonds. This sculptured, outer wall layver appears to be uniique to the terrestrial ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
