| Abstract: | Catamine AB (0.05-0.5%) promotes transfer of B. cereus st 96, and E. coli st. 906 cell cultures into metabolic rest. Detergent-treated cells have no energetic metabolism and autolytic processes, have high light-scattering coefficient, and peculiar ultrastructural organization. Viable cells can be observed in the detergent-treated cell suspension after 1 year of incubation. Difference in action of different catamine AB concentrations on stationary and exponential B. cereus cells has been revealed. |
