Abstract
Escherichia coli strains carrying transcriptional fusions of four sigma 32-controlled E. coli heat shock promoters to luxCDABE or lacZ reporter genes were stressed by chemicals added singly or in pairs. Much more than additive induction resulted from combinations of cadmium chloride, copper sulfate, ethanol, formamide, 4-nitrophenol, and pentachlorophenol.Keywords
