Abstract excerpt
Induced adaptive and cross-protective responses to peroxide stress are important strategies used by bacteria to survive stressful environments. We have shown that exposure to low levels of peroxide (adaptive) and superoxide anions (cross-protection) induced high levels of resistance to peroxide killing in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The mechanisms and genes involved in these processes have not been identified....
