Abstract excerpt
The authors measured the osmotic stability of liposomes prepared with membrane lipids of bacteria, using the osmotic-shock release of entrapped carboxyfluorescein as an indicator. The sub-second physical changes of liposomes suspended in a solution of low osmotic pressure were examined by stopped flow spectrophotometry. The entrapped carboxyfluorescein was released when the liposomes burst on inflow of excess...
