What toxins do the E.coli bacteria generate at death phase?

[Eagle9]

I have heard that bacteria produce some chemicals/toxins when it dies at the death phase. I need to know exactly what chemicals are produced by E.coli when it dies? Ethanol? Peptides? It this problem explored? If so – how these toxins impact on bacteria?

It's not that E. coli (or other bacteria) produce toxins on death, rather they die and as the lyse release components of their cell structures that are classed as endotoxins.

But what about the Autocrine signalling? Cannot the E.coli release/emit hormone or chemical messenger that will be able to destroy this cell?
