Abstract excerpt
Enteric bacteria have developed various survival systems that protect against acid stress. In this study, an aspartate-dependent acid survival system is characterized in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The expression of aspartase (AspA) was confirmed to be increased at acidic pH by proteomic and lacZ fusion analyses. Addition of aspartate increased acid survival of the wild type but not the aspA knockout mutant....
