Habituation to normally lethal acidity by prior growth of Escherichia coli at a sub-lethal acid pH value
Abstract
Both Col‐ and ColV, I‐K94+ strains of Escherichia coli, grown at pH 7–0, failed to grow after relatively short periods of exposure to pH 3·0 or 3·5. After growth in exposure medium initially at pH 5·0, both strains were almost unaffected by exposure to such acid pH values. Addition of catalase to nutrient agar only slightly increased plating efficiency after acid treatment and very slightly reduced the difference in survival, after acid treatment, between organisms grown from pH 5·0 and those grown from pH 7·0. Accordingly, acid resistance of organisms grown from pH 5·0 is not chiefly due to greater resistance to hydrogen peroxide already present in nutrient media.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
