Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of Ba1 bacterium and some model systems.
Lithium NMR relaxation times of some model systems and E. coli cells in high LiCl concentration were measured. The lithium NMR relaxation times were compared to the relaxation times in the holotolerant bacterium Ba1 (Goldberg, M., Risk, M. and Gilboa, H. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 763, 35-40). Complementary studies of the water protons NMR relaxation times were carried out. It is suggested that the lithium in the H.S. Ba1 bacterium is occulated in small pores of the cell envelope.
