Abstract excerpt
Cellular glycogen levels reflect the activity of RpoS, an important stress-inducible bacterial sigma factor known to regulate several stress-resistance related genes, such as katE, encoding hydroperoxidase II (HPII), and the glg genes, encoding glycogen synthesis enzymes, in Escherichia coli. In this study, a straightforward assay for measuring glycogen levels and RpoS activity was developed combining the ease...
