The induction of acid tolerance in Vibrio cholerae - factors influencing and cross-protection responses / Anneeza Zaity Zainal

The factors influencing the ability of Vibrio cholerae AC-V99 El Tor 01 Ogawa to tolerate acid killing after a pre-exposure to sub-lethal acid pH were studied. The effect of pre-exposure to sub-lethal acid pH on tolerance to other stresse s (cross-protection) including heat, osmotic and oxidative st...
