From: Trichoderma viride cellulase induces resistance to the antibiotic pore-forming peptide alamethicin associated with changes in the plasma membrane lipid composition of tobacco BY-2 cells

Figure 1

The effect of alamethicin on oxygen consumption of tobacco cells pretreated with cellulase and macerozyme (CM). (A) Respiration in Control cells (upper trace) and cells treated for 4 h with CM (lower trace). Alam, addition of alamethicin. (B) Alamethicin resistance after different incubation times in Control medium and CM, respectively. Resistance was measured as per cent of respiration rate remaining after 10 min incubation with 20 µg ml-1 alamethicin compared to the initial rate. Squares are control samples, open circles are CM-treated samples, and filled circles are samples treated with boiled CM. Values represent the mean of three biological replicates and the error bars denote SE.
