Comparison of the Binding of Penicillin G to Staphylococcal L-Form and Its Parent Strain Membranes

Hidekazu Suginaka 1
PMCID: PMC429567  PMID: 1259410

Abstract

The binding of penicillin G to a stable L-form from Staphylococcus aureus followed saturation-type kinetics with saturation achieved at 0.75 nmol/ml, the same as with its parent strain.
