Abstract excerpt
We revealed a relationship between alkylhydroxybenzene (AHB)-induced changes in the structural organization of supramolecular complexes (SC) of the DNA of Pseudomonas auraniaca and the phenotypic dissociation of this bacterium. The addition of 0.1-0.3 mM hexylresorcinol (C6-AHB), a chemical analogue of microbial anabiosis autoinducers, caused the formation of cystlike refractile cells (CRC) in these...
