Abstract
Death of cells in cultures of six species of gram-negative bacteria was accelerated by incorporation in the medium of 10-fold more inorganic phosphate than was needed for growth. Death induced by inorganic phosphate was independent of the carbohydrate employed and was enhanced by warm temperatures.Keywords
