Method "Acid-base titrations were conducted on whole cells and cells permeabilized with Triton X-100 [Bacilli spp.] or n-butanol [E. coli]." "Titrations of the untreated and permeabilized whole cells of the six bacterial species in the study immediately showed that both the Bo and the Bt values were quite different from species to species."
