One of the most direct methods to inhibit endotoxin is to change the material structure of. the membrane itself, as the physical attributes of the membrane will perhaps have the. greatest effect on endotoxin removal.
The relationship of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) to the bacterial cell surface is illustrated in Figure 1 below. In vivo, Gram-negative bacteria probably release minute amounts of endotoxin while growing.This may be important in the stimulation of natural immunity. It is known that small amounts of endotoxin may be released in a soluble form by young cultures grown in the laboratory.But for the most part, endotoxins remain associated with the cell wall until disintegration of the organisms.he function of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is to act as a protective permeability barrier. The outer membrane is impermeable to large molecules and hydrophobic compounds from the environment.
