Influence of osmolarity of the growth medium on the outer membrane protein pattern of Escherichia coli
Open accessAbstract
Supplementation of the growth medium with high concentrations of NaCl, KCl, or sucrose caused a drastic change in the ratio of the two peptidoglycan-associated major outer membrane proteins of Escherichia coli K-12 in that the amounts of proteins b and c present in cell envelope preparations decreased and increased, respectively. Kinetic studies showed that, after the osmolarity of the medium was changed, one protein was hardly incorporated into the membrane, whereas the other was incorporated with an increased rate. After about 1.5 to 2 generations, the cell envelopes obtained the b/c ratio characteristic for the new medium, and both proteins were subsequently incorporated in the cell ensured this new ratio. Once proteins b and c were incorporated in the cell envelope, they were not converted into each other by changes in osmolarity of the growth medium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
