Persistence preserves phenotypic heterogeneity in non-genetic formaldehyde resistance in Escherichia coli.

BMC research notes - 16 Mar 2026

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Recently, it was discovered that Methylobacterium extorquens possesses a spectrum of phenotypic states conferring non-genetic resistance to formaldehyde. The non-genetic resistance allowed rapid growth on levels of formaldehyde which were lethal to the majority of the population. To investigate whether this is a common phenomenon, we tested the distantly related Escherichia coli for heterogeneity to...
