Abstract

The effect of tributyltin (TBT) chloride on the growth of cytochrome-deficient and cytochrome-containing cells of Escherichia coli SASX76 was examined. The former cells were found to be at least 20 times more sensitive to TBT. It is proposed that the differential sensitivity of these two cell types to the biocide, TBT, may be due to a different mode of energy generation by cytochrome-deficient and cytochrome-sufficient cells. In addition to the energy state, the pH change caused by the presence and absence of cytochromes which occurred during growth also resulted in a differential sensitivity of these cells.
