Prevention of autolysis in suspensions of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by mercuric ions.

R H Peetz, G E Kenny
PMCID: PMC224819  PMID: 97273

Abstract

Mercuric ions were the only metal ions which prevented autolysis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, as measured both by stabilization of optical density and by prevention of release of [3H]diaminopimelic acid.
