Putrescine distribution in Escherichia coli studied in vivo by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance

In order to study the intracellular polyamine distribution in Escherichia coli, 13C-NMR spectra of [1,4-13C]putrescine were obtained after addition of the latter to intact bacteria. The 13C-enriched methylene signal underwent line broadening. When the cells were centrifuged after 90 min the cell-bou...
