Abstract

Submerged cultures ofArthrobacter globiformis grown in media unbalanced with respect to carbon and nitrogen sources were found to contain cells exhibiting features typical of resting forms: long-term viability, specific ultrastructure, dormant metabolism, and thermoresistance. Such cells were produced not only in the collection strain VKM B-l 112, but also in the Aglobiformis strains isolated from 2-to 3-million-year-old permafrost sediments.
