title: [The effect of Mg 2+ ions on the properties of various strains of Yersinia pestis].
abstract: The strains of Yersinia pestis that restrict their growth on the media deficient for Mg2+ ions at 37 degrees C have been found. The bacterial cell lysis is registered under these conditions. The effect of Yersinia pestis own plasmids on the level of growth restriction in the absence of Mg2+ ions has been studied. The phenomenon is not connected with the presence of the plasmid determining Ca2(+)-dependence. The presence of 6Md plasmid coding for pesticinogenicity increased the frequency of colony formation, while the heavy plasmid determining the production of "mouse" toxin favoured the increase in growth restriction on Mg2(+)-less media. The clones growing under the latter conditions acquire the rearrangements in the DNA of the plasmid coding for the "mouse" toxin.
