Abstract excerpt
Loss of the PrpC serine-threonine phosphatase and the associated PrkC kinase of Bacillus subtilis were shown to have opposite effects on stationary-phase physiology by differentially affecting cell density, cell viability, and accumulation of beta-galactosidase from a general stress reporter fusion. These pleiotropic effects suggest that PrpC and PrkC have important regulatory roles in stationary-phase cells....
