Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli K12 becomes resistant to killing by acid (habituates to acid) in a few minutes at pH 5.0. Habituation involves protein synthesis-dependent and -independent stages; both must occur at an habituating pH. The habituation sensor does not detect increased delta pH (or decreased delta...
