Membrane fractionation studies were performed on Salmonella typhimurium lkyD(Ts) and E. coli cha(Ts) mutants that appeared to be blocked at a late stage of the cell division cycle. In both cases growth of the mutant strains at nonpermissive temperatures was associated with accumulation of a characteristic cell envelope fraction (fraction OML) that contained inner membrane, murein, and outer membrane components. The isolated fraction corresponded in composition and buoyant density to a fraction from wild-type strains that had previously been suggested (M.H. Bayer, G. P. Costello, and M. E. Bayer, J. Bacteriol. 149:758-767, 1982: K. Ishidate, E. S. Creeger, J. Zrike, S. Deb, B. Glauner, T. J. MacAlister, and L. I. Rothfield, J. Biol. Chem. 261: 428-443, 1986) to contain adhesion sites between inner membrane murein, and outer membrane. The accumulation of OML in LkyD- and Cha- cells was prevented by treatments that blocked DNA synthesis. The effects of interference with DNA synthesis did not appear to involve the SOS response.
