by bacitracin. J. Bacteriol.
89:
415–240. 1965.—The growth of
Bacillus licheniformis
is inhibited by bacitracin, the antibiotic which the organism itself produces. The effect of the antibiotic is confined to the early growth phase of the organism. Bacitracin will produce a rapid lysis of protoplasts of
B. licheniformis
and
Micrococcus lysodeikticus
. The lytic process requires cadmium or zinc ions, and the rate and extent of lysis depends upon the amount of bacitracin and metal ion added. Although
B. licheniformis
and
M. lysodeikticus
differ markedly in their sensitivity to bacitracin, the protoplasts from these two organisms are equally susceptible to lysis by the antibiotic.
