The lysis of Bacterium coli by amino-acids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
1. Straight-chain α-amino-acids are all equally effective in causing the lysis of Bact. coli.
2. Various modifications of this structure always result in a decrease of this lytic activity.
3. The optical isomers of α-amino-acids are equally effective in causing lysis.
4. There is a correlation between the lytic and the bactericidal powers of the amino-acids and their derivatives.
