Abstract:
Submerged cultures of Arthrobacter globiformis grown in media unbalanced with respect to carbon and nitrogen sources were found to contain cells exhibiting features typical of resting forms: long-term viability, specific ultrastructure, dormant metabolism, and thermoresistance. Such cells were produced not only in the collection strain VKM B-1112, but also in the A. globiformis strains isolated from 2- to 3-million-year-old permafrost sediments.
