Escherichia coli starvation diets: essential nutrients weigh in distinctly.
Bacterial growth is often limited by availability of nutrients. Soil, water, and even host environments such as macrophages can be nutrient poor, lacking essential building blocks for growth, including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The ratios of these elements differ according to the local ecology, so each one of them is limiting in different environments (4, 28). When presented with any ty...
متن کاملStarvation for different nutrients in Escherichia coli results in differential modulation of RpoS levels and stability.
Levels of RpoS increase upon glucose starvation in Escherichia coli, which leads to the transcription of genes whose products combat a variety of stresses. RpoS stability is a key level of control in this process, as SprE (RssB)-mediated degradation is inhibited under glucose starvation. Starvation for ammonia or phosphate also results in increased stress resistance and induction of RpoS-depend...
متن کاملStarvation-induced cross protection against osmotic challenge in Escherichia coli.
Stationary-phase Escherichia coli cultures showed enhanced osmotic resistance as compared with cultures in mid-logarithmic growth or preadapted to osmotic stress. The osmotolerance that developed during starvation or osmotic adaptation required de novo protein synthesis. Of the 22 polypeptides induced during osmotic shock, five were also starvation proteins.
متن کاملThe recombinogenic effect of thymidylate starvation in Escherichia coli merodiploids.
I N bacterial cells, the synthesis of DNA proceeds sequentially along the chromosome (SUEOKA and YOSHIKAWA 1963; CAIRNS 1963; NAGATA 1963; LARK, REPKO, and HOFFMAN 1963) in a temporal cycle dependent on the synthesis of certain other macromolecules ( MAALBE and HANAWALT 1961 ; HANAWALT, MAAL0E, CUMMINGS, and SCHAECHTER 1963; LARK et al., 1963). Specific interruption of DNA synthesis appears to ...
متن کاملAlteration of Escherichia coli murein during amino acid starvation.
We have studied the mechanisms by which amino acid starvation of Escherichia coli induces resistance against the lytic and bactericidal effects of penicillin. Starvation of E. coli strain W7 of the amino acids lysine or methionine resulted in the rapid development of resistance to autolytic cell wall degradation, which may be effectively triggered in growing bacteria by a number of chemical or ...
