Abstract excerpt
Using rpoS, tolC, ompF, and recA knockouts, we investigated their effect on the physiological response and lethality of ciprofloxacin in E. coli growing at different rates on glucose, succinate or acetate. We have shown that, regardless of the strain, the degree of changes in respiration, membrane potential, NAD+/NADH ratio, ATP and glutathione (GSH) strongly depends on the initial growth rate and the degree of...
