Summary

SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM MUTANTS WITH AN ALTERATION OF LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDIC CHAINS ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO NOVOBIOCINE, B POLYMIXINE, BACITRACINE AND SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE DURING THEIR GROWTH. THESE MUTANTS ARE ALSO MORE SENSITIVE TO EDTA AND SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE DURING THE STATIONARY STAGE. IN ADDITION TO THIS CHEMOSENSITIVENESS THERE IS A GREATER SENSITIVENESS TO FREEZING-THAWING IN WATER OR SALT SOLUTIONS. SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION OF THE CELL MEMBRANES OF THESE MUTANTS COMPARED TO WILD STEMS. (Bull. bibliogr. CDIUPA, FR., 15, N.12, 1981/12, 17, 162519.
