Abstract:

Intracellular water activities (aw) calculated from the solute composition of various bacterial cells, are in good agreement with values derived from intracellular freezing point data. Further, and confirming literature results based on freezing points, the intracellular aw was found to be generally equal to or lower than that of the growth medium.
