Abstract
It is shown that the immobilization of bacterial cells in polyacrylamide gel or their exposure to monomer acrylamide results in a quantitatively similar decrease of their viability. It is indicated that acrylamide treatment may be used as a test for measuring the resistance of microbial populations to polyacrylamide gel immobilization and predicting the survival rate of microorganisms incorporated.
