Abstract excerpt
Albicidin blocked DNA synthesis in intact cells of a PolA- EndA- Escherichia coli strain, and in permeabilized cells supplied with all necessary precursor nucleotides, indicating a direct effect on prokaryote DNA replication. Replication of phages T4 and T7 was also blocked by albicidin in albicidin-sensitive (Albs) but not in albicidin-resistant (Albr) E. coli host-cells. All stable spontaneous Albr mutants of...
