Selective Autocytotoxicity in a Model System of Escherichia coli K-12 Recombinants

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Autocytotoxicity was shown by Lac+ recombinant strains of Escherichia coli K-12 when their growth was inhibited in media containing o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside. Lac− strains without lactose permease or β-galactosidase activity grew well. Selective autocytotoxicity was shown by simultaneous inhibition of Lac+ cells and multiplication of Lac− cells grown together in this medium.
