Popis: Pre-exposure of Echerichia coli to sub-lethal concentrations of cupric sulphate induced copper tolerance: pre-exposed (habituated) organisms were essentially unaffected by concentrations of Cu2+ which completely prevented colony formation by non-habituated ones. The observed copper tolerance was not dependent on the selection of copper-resistant mutants but resulted from a phenotypic change in the organisms during the pre-exposure period.
