RESUMO

The antibiotic cerulenin, a specific inhibitor of fatty acid synthetase systems, was used to demonstrate that a minor protein component of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, which serves as the receptor for the phage lambda, can be synthesized and inserted into the outer membrane during inhibition of lipid synthesis.
