General stress response regulator RpoS in adaptive mutation and amplification in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial cells under growth-limiting stress can generate mutations by mechanisms distinct from those in rapidly growing cells. These mechanisms might be specific stress responses that increase mutation rates, potentially altering rates of evolution, or might reflect non-stress-specific processes...
