Abstract:
Factors stimulating the increase in the numbers of Escherichia coli bacteria and accelerating their death were studied. It was shown that oscillations in the numbers of viable bacteria are due to periodic changes in the activity of these two factors, which do not coincide in phase. The oscillations in cell numbers occur only at particular cell concentrations.
