Abstract
The effects of ethanol on growth, viability and cell length were studied in Escherichia coli cultured under pressures up to 40 MPa (400 bar). A pressure of 10 MPa reversed the effect of ethanol in retarding cell growth. Cells cultured in the absence of ethanol became about seven times longer at 40 MPa than at atmospheric pressure, and some cells showed incomplete cell division. Ethanol also increased cell length but these effects were not seen at pressures of 20 MPa or more.
