Abstract
Escherichia coli strains carrying transcriptional fusions of four sigm a(32)-controlled E. coli heat shock promoters to luxCDABE or lacZ repo rter genes were stressed by chemicals added singly or in pairs. Much m ore than additive induction resulted from combinations of cadmium chlo ride, copper sulfate, ethanol, formamide, 4-nitrophenol, and pentachlo rophenol.
