Metabolic adaptation to consume butyrate under prolonged resource exhaustion.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria must often survive following the exhaustion of their external growth resources. Fitting with this need, many bacterial species that cannot sporulate, can enter a state known as long term stationary phase (LTSP) in which they can persist for years within spent media. Several recent studies have revealed the dynamics of genetic adaptation of Escherichia coli under LTSP. Yet, the metabolic consequences of...
