    Abstract Our society website was established in 2018 (https://www.biophys.jp/) and currently, it is working for disclosure and communications. However, we should reorganize the site in the near future, to fit to the shift of information media and the need for internalization, as generally requested for the modern Japanese society.

    Abstract Optical tweezers enable us to measure the force generated by bacterial motility and motor proteins. Here, we describe a method, using optical tweezers and related techniques, to measure the force generated during Mycoplasma gliding. An avidin-conjugated polystyrene bead trapped by a focused laser beam is bound to the surface-biotinylated Mycoplasma cell, which pulls the bead from the trap center of the laser. The force generated by Mycoplasma is calculated from a displacement measured and a spring constant of the laser trap.

    Abstract Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential component of the bacterial cell wall that protects the cell from turgor pressure and maintains its shape. In diderm (gram-negative) bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, the PG layer is flexible with a thickness of a 2-6 nm, and its visualization is difficult due to the presence of the outer membrane. The quick-freeze deep-etch replica method has been widely used for the visualization of flexible structures in cell interior, such as cell organelles and membrane components. In this technique, a platinum replica on the surface of a specimen fixed by freezing is observed using a transmission electron microscope. In this chapter, we describe the application of this method for visualizing the E. coli PG layer. We expect that these methods will be useful for the visualization of the PG layer in diverse bacterial species.

    Abstract Mycoplasma mobile forms a membrane protrusion at a pole as an organelle. M. mobile cells bind to solid surfaces and glide in the direction of the protrusion. In gliding motility, M. mobile cells catch, pull and release sialylated oligosaccharides on host cells. The observation of Mycoplasma species under light microscopy is useful for the analysis of adhesion ability and the motility mechanism.

    Abstract Bacterial actin MreB forms filaments composed of antiparallel double-stranded units. The wall-less helical bacterium Spiroplasma has five MreB homologs (MreB1-5), some of which are involved in an intracellular ribbon for driving the bacterium's swimming motility. Although the interaction between MreB units is important for understanding Spiroplasma swimming, the interaction modes of each ribbon component are unclear. Here, we examined the assembly properties of Spiroplasma eriocheiris MreB5 (SpeMreB5), one of the ribbon component proteins that forms sheets. Electron microscopy revealed that sheet formation was inhibited under acidic conditions and bundle structures were formed under acidic and neutral conditions with low ionic strength. We also used solution assays and identified four properties of SpeMreB5 bundles as follows: (I) bundle formation followed sheet formation; (II) electrostatic interactions were required for bundle formation; (III) the positively charged and unstructured C-terminal region contributed to promoting lateral interactions for bundle formation; and (IV) bundle formation required Mg

    Abstract Spiroplasma is a genus of wall-less helical bacteria with swimming motility unrelated to conventional types of bacterial motility machinery, such as flagella and pili. The swimming of Spiroplasma is suggested to be driven by five classes of MreB (MreB1-MreB5), which are members of the actin superfamily. In vitro studies of Spiroplasma MreBs have recently been conducted to evaluate their activities, such as ATPase, which is essential for the polymerization dynamics among classic actin superfamily proteins. In this chapter, we describe methods of purification and P
