June 29, 1951. Dear Harry- We returned from extended travels just a few days ago. The references I promised to send you are: Poltock, a.R., 1950 Penicillinase adaptation in B. cereus.... Br. J. Exp. Path., 31:739-53 (Dec.) and, less important, Strandskov,,F.B., 1947 J. Bact. 53:555-59 ( adaptation to Cl-pab). The latter I am convineed is a case of selection of resistant mitants from microcolonies on the plates containing the inhibitor. Sincerely, Josima Lederberg
