COLICINE K

II. THE PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF A SUBSTANCE HAVING COLICINE K ACTIVITY

PMCID: PMC2136801  PMID: 13491756

Abstract

By chemical fractionation a substance having colicine K activity has been obtained from the culture medium of E. coli K235 L+O. Colicine K activity was found associated with the O antigen of this microorganism. When the O antigen was dissociated, colicine K activity remained with the protein component of the antigen.
