Effect of bacteriocin LD4 on the efflux of K+ ions from cytoplasmic membrane of M. luteus (a) and E. coli (b). Bacteriocin LD4 (upright triangle) caused a higher efflux of K+ ions compared to nisin (open circle), used as positive control. Nisin (closed circle) and bacteriocin LD4 diluent (filled inverted triangle) showed only a basal level of K+ ion concentration, and was used as negative control
