Abstract
Summary Chloramphenicol, aureomycin, terramycin and nitroacridine 3582 inhibit the formation of certain adaptive enzymes in E. coli. This effect per se is not responsible for the bacteriostatic activity of these substances, but it probably points toward a general interference with protein metabolism of the organism.
