Abstract

The plasmid pEAP31 contains the colicin E1 kil gene. Peptidoglycan and outer-membrane components (lipopoly-saccharide, proteins and phosphatidylethanolamine) decreased concurrently in the envelope fraction from Escherichia coli HB101 carrying pEAP31 during the stationary phase of growth. At almost the same time. D-alanine residues in peptidoglycan decreased. The Kil peptide is suggested to affect, directly or indirectly, the turnover of peptidoglycan in stationary phase and, as a result, to cause partial exfoliation of the outer membrane. Periplasmic proteins are liberated from E. coli HB101 (pEAP31) probably because of the exfoliation of outer membrane.
