Abstract excerpt
Using the bacterium B. subtilis as a model and antibiotics as metabolic inhibitors which can suppress replication (mitomycin), transcription (rifampycin) or translation (streptomycin), it is shown that carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins of plant origin) have different action on intracellular processes under study. The effect depends on lectin's structure and on the condition of bacterial...
