Popis: Particularities of the morphological R-variants appearance in periodic culture of two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were investigated. It is shown that both in optimum and in stressful conditions (рН 9,4) the R-variant frequency was increased in stationary phase only. Results from Luria and Delbrück's fluctuation test established that the frequency of R-variants is independent of the number generations passed and the number of colonies under investigation. Majority of R-variants was asporogenous and acrystalligenous, but didn't differ from original S-variants in set of others diagnostic characteristics that are significant for type. Mating between S- and R-variants has shown that the presence of R-variants in culture provides increasing to efficiency of recombination between of the subspecies.
