Abstract
Escherichia coli, treated with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), under certain conditions becomes permeable to several unrelated molecules to which it is otherwise impermeable. This increased permeability explains the sensitivity of such preparations to the antibiotic actinomycin, which is normally ineffective against E. coli. Such cells grow at a normal rate despite this impairment of a permeability barrier.Keywords
