S>Determination of the DNA and RNA content in two cultures of E. coli, normal and glucose, differing in radiosensitivity and the shape of the dose- survival curve, showed that the DNA content per cell was 2.7 times and the RNA content 4.8 times greater in the glucose than in the normal culture, which may serve as the basis for assuming the cells of the glucose cultare to be of a polyploid character. The cells of the glucose culture were 5 times greater in volume than the cells of a normal culture and 3.5 times greater in dry weight. The cultures did not differ in their water content. (auth)
