✦ Synopsis

The inhibitive activity of colicins of 16 types (produced by 22 colicinogenic strains) on rods and protoplast-like stable L-formcellsof the strains Escherichia coli B, W1655 F' and W1655 Fwas compared. The results of 58 combinations tested fall into four groups (with three subgroups): 1) both cell forms are sensitive a) both cell forms are about equally sensitive b) rods are distinctly more sensitive than L-form cells c) L-form cells are distinctly more sensitive than rods 2) only rods are sensitive, L-form cells are not sensitive 3) only L-form cells are sensitive, rods are not sensitive 4) neither cell form is sensitive.
