AbstractThe genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations. Klebsiella is a common opportunistic pathogen for humans and other animals, as well as being resident or transient flora (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract). Other habitats include sewage, drinking water, soils, surface waters, industrial effluents, and vegetation. Until recently, almost all these Klebsiella have been identified as one species, ie, K. pneumoniae. However, phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that “K. pneumoniae” actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats. General habitat associations of Klebsiella species are as follows: K. pneumoniae—humans, animals, sewage, and polluted waters and soils; K. oxytoca—frequent association with most habitats; K. terrigena— unpolluted surface waters and soils, drinking water, and vegetation; K. planticola—sewage, polluted surface waters, soils, and vegetation; and K. ozaenae/K. rhinoscleromatis—infrequently detected (primarily with humans).

In order to obtain specific and optimal ultrastructural localization of vasopressin and oxytocin in the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system of the rat, 2 staining procedures and several tissue treatments were evaluated using neurohypophyseal tissue. It appeared from these studies that post-embedding staining with the unlabeled antibody enzyme method developed by Sternberger allows greater dilution of the first antibody (anti-vasopressin, 1:4800) than the indirect procedure (1:320) using a peroxidase conjugate as second antibody. Immersion fixation with 4% formalin during 24 hours gave better results (general ultrastructure, immunoreactivity) than those obtained by perfusion fixation with 2.5% glutaraldehyde-1% paraformaldehyde or freeze substitution.Since no reliable specificity tests were performed at the electron microscopical level, tests were developed for antibodies against both vasopressin and oxytocin. For anti-vasopressin plasma neural lobes of homozygous Brattleboro rats, that are lacking vasopressin by a genet- ical defect, were used. For antibodies against both hormones serial sections were used that were alternately incubated with the antibodies.

We have already described (1.2.3) a device using a pockel's effect light valve as a microscopical electron image converter. This converter can be read out with incoherent or coherent light. In the last case we can set in line with the converter an optical diffractometer. Now, electron microscopy developments have pointed out different advantages of diffractometry. Indeed diffractogram of an image of a thin amorphous part of a specimen gives information about electron transfer function and a single look at a diffractogram informs on focus, drift, residual astigmatism, and after standardizing, on periods resolved (4.5.6). These informations are obvious from diffractogram but are usualy obtained from a micrograph, so that a correction of electron microscope parameters cannot be realized before recording the micrograph. Diffractometer allows also processing of images by setting spatial filters in diffractogram plane (7) or by reconstruction of Fraunhofer image (8). Using Electrotitus read out with coherent light and fitted to a diffractometer; all these possibilities may be realized in pseudoreal time, so that working parameters may be optimally adjusted before recording a micrograph or before processing an image.

With the advent of improved dehydration techniques, scanning electron microscopy has become routine in anatomical studies of fungi. Fine structure of hyphae and spore surfaces has been illustrated for many hyphomycetes, and yet, the ultrastructure of the ubiquitous soil fungus, Geomyces pannorus (Link) Sigler & Carmichael has been neglected. This presentation shows that scanning and transmission electron microscopical data must be correlated in resolving septal structure and conidial release in G. pannorus.Although it is reported to be cellulolytic but not keratinolytic, G. pannorus is found on human skin, animals, birds, mushrooms, dung, roots, and frozen meat in addition to various organic soils. In fact, it readily adapts to growth at low temperatures.
