Mohan, Raam R. (Warner-Lambert Research Institute, Morris Plains, N.J.), Donald P. Kronish, Roland S. Pianotti, Ray L. Epstein, and Benjamin S. Schwartz. Autolytic mechanism for spheroplast formation in Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:1355-1364. 1965.-Spheroplasts of Bacillus cereus strain T and Escherichia coli B were prepared by incubating early log-phase cells in appropriate buffers and stabilizers for 3 hr at 30 and 37 C, respectively. Upon incubation in 0.05 m tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer osmotically stabilized with 16% polyethylene glycol at pH 7.5, 99% of the B. cereus cells formed spheroplasts; 90% of the E. coli cells were converted to spheroplasts in 0.4 m sodium acetate buffer osmotically stabilized with 1.6 m sucrose at pH 6.0. The extent of spheroplast formation was determined by phase-contrast microscopic examination, by measuring the rate of fall of optical density in the reaction mixture when subjected to osmotic shock, and by viable intact cell counts. The effect of a selected group of metabolic inhibitors on the autolytic system of B. cereus and E. coli has been examined. B. cereus and E. coli wall components comprising 26% of the dry weight of the original cellular material were recovered from dialyzed fractions by precipitation in 70% ethyl alcohol. Chemical and chromatographic analysis of cell-wall hydrolysates from B. cereus and E. coli indicated the presence of glucosamine, alanine, lysine, glycine, aspartic acid, diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, and muramic acid.
