Homogenous pesticin, a bacteriocin produced by Yersinia pestis, promoted rapid dose-dependent killing of Escherichia coli phi but permitted residual generation of cell mass. Both growing cells and those blocked in net synthesis of nucleic acids or protein were converted by pesticin to osmotically stable spheroplast-like forms. Morphology and viability of cells starved for fermentable carbohydrate were not affected by pesticin. Similar spheroplast-like structures were formed from sensitive cells of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Y. pestis.
鼠疫耶尔森菌产生的细菌素——同质鼠疫菌素，能促进对大肠杆菌噬菌体的快速剂量依赖性杀伤，但允许细胞质量有残余生成。正在生长的细胞以及那些核酸或蛋白质净合成受阻的细胞，都被鼠疫菌素转化为渗透压稳定的类原生质体形式。缺乏可发酵碳水化合物而饥饿的细胞的形态和活力不受鼠疫菌素影响。假结核耶尔森菌、小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌和鼠疫耶尔森菌的敏感细胞也形成了类似的类原生质体结构。
