Abstract excerpt
The effect of mutations in the genes encoding glutathione, glutaredoxin, thioredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase on the response of growing Escherichia coli to oxidative stress was studied. The gshA mutants defective in glutathione synthesis had the lowest resistance to high doses of H2O2, whereas the trxB mutants defective in thioredoxin reductase synthesis had the highest resistance to this oxidant, exceeding...
