Decay of the ampicillin-induced lysis process in amino acid-deprived Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

The ability to induce the ampicillin-mediated lysis of amino acid-deprived Escherichia coli by relaxing the stringent response decreased progressively during the course of amino acid deprivation, apparently because of a time-dependent decay in a key lysis event. The decay of this labile activity was not apparent when ampicillin treatment was initiated early and maintained continuously throughout the amino acid...
