The rate of osmotic downshock determines the survival probability of bacterial mechanosensitive channel mutants.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2015

Bialecka-Fornal Maja, Lee Heun Jin, Phillips Rob

Abstract excerpt

Mechanosensitive (MS) channels allow cells to sense and respond to environmental changes. In bacteria, these channels are believed to protect against an osmotic shock. The physiological function of these channels has been characterized primarily by a standardized assay, where aliquots of batch-cultured cells are rapidly pipetted into a hypotonic medium. Under this method, it has been inferred many types of MS...
