Title: Effects of Hemolymph from Immune and Non-Immune Larvae of GalleriaMellonella on the Ultra-Structure of PseudomonasAeruginosa
Abstract: The ultrastructure of Pseudomonasaeruginosa, a pathogen of Galleriamellonella is rapidly altered after invitro exposure to the hemolymph of vaccinated larvae. The bacteria were treated with normal and immune hemolymph for periods of time ranging from 7 to 28 min at 28°C. In contrast to the apparent non-damaging effects of normal. hemolymph, the immune hemolymph caused progressive damage to the cells within 7 min. The initial attack was directed towards the cell wall. Complete degradation was observed after 14 to 28 min exposure to the immune hemolymph.
