Abstract excerpt
Shifting the temperature from 30 to 45 degrees C in an aerobic Escherichia coli culture inhibited the expression of the antioxidant genes katG, katE, sodA, and gor. The expression was evaluated by measuring beta-galactosidase activity in E. coli strains that contained fusions of the antioxidant gene promoters with the lacZ operon. Heat shock inhibited catalase and glutathione reductase, lowered the intracellular...
