Abstract excerpt
When grown in rich medium, Escherichia coli exhibits a drastic reduction of the number of viable cells at the beginning of stationary phase. The decline of cell viability was retarded by disruption of the ssnA gene, which was identified as a gene subject to RpoS-dependent negative regulation. Moreover, ssnA expression was induced at the time of decline of cell viability at early stationary phase. The viability...
