Changes in phospholipid vesicles size induced by amphipathic antibiotics of iturin group.
As shown by gel filtration and freeze-fracture, amphipathic antibiotics, iturin A and bacillomycin L, increased by about five fold the size of small unilamellar vesicles of saturated lecithins, above their transition temperature.
