[Relationship between the synthesis of a new stress response component and bacterial cell metabolism].

Various stress factors (incubation with redox-cycling agents, ozonization, heat shock) that induced accumulation of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-2,4-cyclopyrophosphate (MEC) were also shown to induce various alterations of the phospholipid composition in three microbial species: Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus aureus. The influence of adding 10 carbohydrates to the growth medium on MEC accumulation by C. ammoniagenes cells was tested.
