Abstract
Escherichia coil cells exposed to heat (48 degrees C), cold (5-15 degr ees C), oxidative (N-ethylmaleimide), and tetracycline-induced stresse s secreted as yet unidentified compounds (exometabolites) into the med ium. These compounds protected E. coil cells against the same or other stresses. The activity spectra, i.e., the potency of protection again st different stresses, varied depending on the origination conditions of the exometabolites.
