[Effect of inhibitors on the viability and protein and nucleic acid synthesis of Escherichia coli].
The object of this work was to study how the synthesis of protein, RNA and DNA in Escherichia coli M17 and its viability were influenced by chloramphenicol (50 and 300 micrograms/ml) an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis, and sodium azide (200 and 2000 microM) and aminazine (50 micrograms/ml), inhibitors of respiration. The exposed were inhibitors with the bacteria for 60 min at room temperature and for 1-4 months at -10 degrees C. The inhibition of the E. coli viability by chloramphenicol was shown to be reversible. The respiration inhibitors stabilized its viability upon storage at -10 degrees C for one month. The inhibitors were found to produce a different effect on the synthesis of RNA and protein in E. coli. The rates of DNA synthesis hardly changed. No correlation was established between changes in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acids by E. coli after the action of the inhibitors and its viability.
