[Formation of resting forms of Arthrobacter globiformis in autolysing cell suspensions].
Under conditions of spontaneous or induced autolysis of thick cell suspensions, Arthrobacter globiformis strains produced cells exhibiting features typical of resting microbial forms. The number of viable resting cells was greater under conditions of induced rather than spontaneous autolysis. The thermoresistance of the resting cells of A. globiformis strains isolated from 2- to 3 million-year-old permafrost was higher than that of the collection A. globiformis strain.
