Lacticin Q, a lactococcal pore-forming bacteriocin, shows activity toward Gram-positive bacteria but not Gram-negative bacteria. Lacticin Q did not induce permeability of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Experiments using model membranes containing outer membrane components suggested that lacticin Q binds to the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria but is unable to penetrate it. The lack of activity of lacticin Q was attributed to physicochemical features of the outer membrane components.
乳链菌肽 Q 是一种乳球菌素,对革兰氏阳性菌具有活性,而对革兰氏阴性菌没有活性。乳链菌肽 Q 不会诱导革兰氏阴性菌的外膜通透性增加。使用含有外膜成分的模型膜进行的实验表明,乳链菌肽 Q 与革兰氏阴性菌的外膜结合,但无法穿透它。乳链菌肽 Q 缺乏活性归因于外膜成分的物理化学特性。
