Thermal Lysis of Bacterial Membranes and Its Prevention by Polyamines Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: Protoplasts of and underwent thermal lysis when heated to 60° and above. [C]Glycine was released from the internal pool of at 50°. Spermine, spermidine, cadaverine and Mg partially protected protoplasts against thermal lysis.
