title: A note on the repair of the Escherichia coli nucleoid structure after heat shock.
abstract: The repair of the Escherichia coli nucleoid structure after heat shock (50 degrees C, 5 min) was studied. After heat shock the repair process did not include the association of the nucleoid to protein structures as is the case after more severe heat treatments resulting in cell death or inactivation.
