S. L. Helgerson, W. A. Cramer,* J. M. Harris, and FE Lytle abstract: Colicin El added at a low multiplicity to sensitive cells causes an increase in the polarization of fluorescence of the cell-bound probe A-phenyl-1-naphthylamine. The dye seems localized in the hydrocarbon regions of the cell envelope as inferred from its known properties and from the measure-ment of an abrupt changein fluorescence polarization at ap-proximately 16. An order-disorder transition in the lipid of cells of similar fatty acid composition has been documented by others to occur in this temperature range. Because the fluores-cence lifetime of the cell-bound dye also increases in the pres-ence of colicin El, it is concluded that colicin causes an in-crease in the rotational relaxation time of the dye. Colicin El added at high multiplicities (10¿ tg/ml) causes a similar in-crease in fluorescence polarization from 8 to 26 and does not alter the magnitude of the order-disorder transition or change
