“…A possible mode of action of monovalent cations may be in affecting the interaction between CwlB and CwbA (356). Phosphate also induces lysis and is counteracted by glucose plus ammonium (356,357). The physiological basis of these findings is not clear.…”

“…In general, limitation of the C and N source (357), as well as low temperature (358), causes cells to lyse. Lysis seems to be triggered by an unbalanced synthesis of macromolecules, especially of peptidoglycan (357).…”
