Actinomycin D Sensitivity of Bacteria with Simple and Complex Cell Surfaces

Louis H Muschel 1, Linda J Larsen 1
PMCID: PMC284898  PMID: 4977487

Abstract

The sensitivity of different bacteria to actinimycin D was not related to their cell surface morphology. Bacteria with simple and complex surfaces were both extremely susceptible.
