Abstract excerpt
A prolonged incubation of Escherichia, Salmonella or Pseudomonas at 48 degrees C with nalidixic acid selected mutants (T48) able to grow at 48 degrees C. A prolonged incubation at 54 degrees C of the T48 mutants selected mutants (T54) able to grow at 54 degrees C. These mutants were susceptible to the same bacteriophages as the original mesophilic strains. Auxotrophic phenotypes of Escherichia coli and Salmonella...
