Abstract
Exponentially growing tetracycline-treated Escherichia coli cells rele ase (an) as yet unidentified compound(s) into the medium. These compou nds produce a protective effect on E. coli cells under conditions of h eat, oxidative, and osmotic shocks, or in the presence of tetracycline . The protective effect is manifested as an acceleration of growth in the presence of tetracycline or under conditions of heat shock or as a shortening of the period of adaptation to other stresses.
