The antimicrobial activity of an homologous series of n-alkyltrimethylammonium bromides has been assessed towards Escherichia coli grown at a variety of specific growth rates and under various conditions of nutrient limitation. For each individual set of growth conditions activity was parabolically related to the n-alkyl chain length of the compounds and thus to compound lipophilicity (log P). The compound that showed optimal activity and thereby optimal lipophilicity (log P0) changes according to growth rate and nutrient limitation. Such changes are related to variations in the gross cell envelope composition of the cultures (phospholipid, lipopolysaccharide, neutral lipids, proteins). The data therefore support the hypothesis that changes in growth rate and nutrient limitation alter the overall lipophilicity of the cell envelope and thereby the optimal value of log P for compounds to traverse it. Additionally, the data suggest that for the compounds examined, the acidic:neutral phospholipid ratios of the cell envelope, also influence the permeation of it.
