Abstract

Components of three investigated plant extracts from the biomass of cultivated cells of Ungernia victoris, Rhodiola rosea, and Polyscias filicifolia interact with porin proteins OmpC and OmpF and reduce their receptor activity towards OmpC- and OmpF-dependent bacteriophages. The influx of these components into cells optimizes the synthesis of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) complex and contributes to the enhancement of receptor activity of not only LPS but also OmpA and LamB proteins closely associated with the latter.
