Abstract
Transmission electron microscopic studies of the interaction of Aeromo nas hydrophila strain A6 (A6) with human erythrocytes showed membrane- to-membrane contact, consistent with outer membrane (OM)-based adhesio n in A6. The expression of a 43 kDa OM protein was enhanced when cells were cultured in the presence of 0.42% maltose, indicating this prote in is a maltoporin. New OM proteins were induced when A6 was cultured in media supplemented with glucose.
