Abstract

The sensitivity of Escherichia coli to the lethal effect of colicin E 2 was reduced by elevation of osmotic pressure of the incubation medium. Optimal protection of the cells from the lethal effect of colicin E 2 was achieved with 0.6 to 0.8 m NaCl or with 0.8 m sucrose containing 0.01 m MgSO 4 . Under such conditions, the degradation of deoxyribonucleic acid caused by colicin E 2 was also suppressed markedly. It was concluded that a high concentration of sucrose with Mg ++ might prevent the action of the adsorbed colicin E 2 . A similar protection was observed against the lethal effect of colicin K.
