Abstract
BILLEN1 had earlier reported the release of cellular constituents from bacterial cells after irradiation with X-rays or with ultra-violet light. He carried out extensive qualitative determinations of the released cellular constituents in phosphate buffer-glucose medium. In this communication we record the change in viscosity of the eluted suspensions from the ultra-violet-irradiated bacterial cells.
