the actual function affected was allocated to the cytoplasmic membrane of the bacterial cells by the following evidence : -- spheroplasts were affected like intact cells , -- individual reactions of either the electron transport chain or the glycolytic pathway were not inhibited , -- glucose consumption in the culture stopped and the cells accumulated guanosine tetraphosphate as under starvation conditions , -- activation of the cell 's apo-glucose dehydrogenase restored respiration via bypassing the glucose phosphotransferase system .
