title: Temperature-dependent variation in the synthesis of the receptor for Yersinia enterocolitica bacteriophage XI.
abstract: Growth temperature affected the synthesis of the receptor for Yersinia enterocolitica bacteriophage XI. The cell wall preparation from the cells grown at 25 degrees C inactivated the bacteriophage, whereas cell walls grown at 37 degrees C did not. The alkaline extraction was performed with 0.03 M sodium hydroxide. The alkaline extract from the 25 degrees C-grown cells required for 50% phage inactivation amounted to 10 micrograms, whereas the compound from the 37 degrees C-grown cells did not inactivate the bacteriophage. It was indicated by diethylaminoethyl cellulose column and Sephadex G-200 column chromatographic analyses that the receptor material was extracted as a sugar-protein complex by the alkaline treatment.
