Abstract excerpt
In bacteria, cytoplasmic levels of the effector nucleotide ppGpp are regulated in response to changes in growth conditions. This study describes the involvement of SpoT-mediated ppGpp accumulation in the survival of light-exposed bacteria during fatty acid starvation. In contrast to isogenic wild-type strains and relA mutants, the 'Vibrio angustum' S14 spoT and Escherichia coli relA spoT mutants displayed...
