B arak , M., M erzbach D. & U litzur , S. 1985. A note on the increased permeability of opsonized luminous bacteria. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 59 , 57–59. Opsonization of a dark variant of the luminous bacterium Photobacterium leiog‐nathi by pooled human serum caused an increase in the permeability of the organism to actinomycin D, as judged by the inhibition of the proflavin‐induced synthesis of its luminescence system.
