Abstract
Carbohydrate-starved cultures of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IL14 03 showed enhanced resistance to heat, ethanol, acid, osmotic, and oxi dative stresses. This cross-protection seems to be established progres sively during the transitional growth phase, with maximum resistance o ccurring when cells enter the stationary phase. Chloramphenicol or rif amycin treatment does not abolish the development of a tolerant cell s tate but, on the contrary, seems to provoke this response in L. lactis subsp. lactis.
