Survival guide: Escherichia coli in the stationary phase
This review centers on the stationary phase of bacterial culture. The basic processes specific to the stationary phase, as well as the regulatory mechanisms that allow the bacteria to survive in conditions of stress, are described.
متن کاملInvolvement of the global regulator H-NS in the survival of Escherichia coli in stationary phase.
Long-term batch cultures of Escherichia coli grown in nutrient-rich medium accumulate mutations that provide a growth advantage in the stationary phase (GASP). We have examined the survivors of prolonged stationary phase to identify loci involved in conferring a growth advantage and show that a mutation in the hns gene causing reduced activity of the global regulator H-NS confers a GASP phenoty...
متن کاملRole of penicillin-binding protein 1b in competitive stationary-phase survival of Escherichia coli.
The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) catalyze the synthesis and modification of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan. Although the biochemical activities of these proteins have been determined in Escherichia coli, the physiological roles of many PBPs remain enigmatic. Previous studies have cast doubt on the individual importance of the majority of PBPs during log phase growth. We show here that ...
متن کاملInorganic polyphosphate supports resistance and survival of stationary-phase Escherichia coli.
The Escherichia coli mutant (ppk) lacking the enzyme polyphosphate kinase, which makes long chains of inorganic polyphosphate (poly P), is deficient in functions expressed in the stationary phase of growth. After 2 days of growth in a medium limited in carbon sources, only 7% of the mutants survived compared with nearly 100% of the wild type; the loss in viability of the mutant was even more pr...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of the bgl operon of Escherichia coli in the stationary phase.
The bgl operon is silent and uninducible in wild-type strains of Escherichia coli and requires mutational activation for optimal expression. We show that transcription from the wild-type and the activated bgl promoter exhibits a growth phase-dependent enhancement that is highest in the stationary phase. We have assessed the effect of mutations in rpoS, crl, hns, leuO and bglJ, known to regulate...
