Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were exposed to nocardicin A, and were subsequently observed with transmission and scanning electron microscopes. Although the nocardicin A‐induced morphological alterations such as bulges and spheroplast formations were observed both in P. aeruginosa and E. coli , their positions on the cell surface were different in the two species.
