title: [Interaction of gramicidins with the cellular phospholipids of the producer Bacillus brevis].
abstract: Phospholipid fractions were isolated from the cells of Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. variants, some, of which produced gramicidin S and some did not. As was found by thin layer chromatography, phosphatidyl ethanolamine predominated in the fraction of phospholipids. Interaction of the isolated phospholipids with gramicidin S in vitro resulted in a loss of the antibiotic activity. Presumably, formation of a complex between the polypeptide and phospholipids may decrease the actual concentration of gramicidin S in cells producing the antibiotic.
