The Physiology, Biochemistry and Genetics of Survival of Bacteria Subjected to Environmental Stress

Abstract

This report contains the results of an investigation on the microbial physiology, biochemistry and genetics. Since several basic questions and approaches were pursued in these studies, the report is divided into six parts: (1) the effects of stress on metabolic activity of bacteria; (2) the effects of stress on genetic stability; (3) the relationship of cell composition to survival potential;; (4) starvation and substrate-accelerated death in bacteria; (5) cryoprotection studies; and (6) survival and enumeration of bacteria in natural systems.
