Hydrostatic Pressure Effects on Escherichia coli: Site of Inhibition of Protein Synthesis

J R Schwarz a,1, J V Landau a
PMCID: PMC285249  PMID: 4550826

Abstract

Utilizing whole-cell preparations of Escherichia coli, it appears that 670 atm inhibits protein synthesis during elongation, while not affecting aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid formation, polysomal integrity, or amino acid permeability.
