Isolation and characterization of autolysis-defective mutants of Escherichia coli that are resistant to the lytic activity of seminalplasmin.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Mar 1990

Chitnis S N, Prasad K S, Bhargava P M

Abstract excerpt

Two temperature-sensitive autolysis-defective mutants of Escherichia coli were isolated and shown to be resistant to lysis induced by seminalplasmin, an antimicrobial protein from bovine seminal plasma, as well as to lysis induced by ampicillin, D-cycloserine and nocardicin, at 37 or 42 degrees C but not at 30 degrees C. The mutants were, however, sensitive to inhibition of RNA synthesis by seminalplasmin even at...
