RESUMO

When Campylobacter jejuni cultures that had been grown in broth at 39°C were subcultured into fresh medium at 30°C, there was a transient period of growth followed by a decline in viable-cell numbers before growth resumed once more. We propose that this complex behavior is the net effect of the growth of inoculum cells followed by a loss of viability due to oxidative stress and the subsequent emergence of a spontaneously arising mutant population that takes over the culture.
