Abstract
The toxicity of beryllium for Pseudomonas fluorescens is studied with the aid of an anionic complex of the element which is stable in peptone medium at pH 6 during the period of investigation. The toxic effect is characterized by an increase in the lag phase which is proportional to the square of the beryllium concentration. Further, a process of progressive adaptation is observed when the concentration of the beryllium complex is gradually increased.
