Abstract excerpt
Glycogen and trehalose are multifunctional carbohydrates that contribute to bacterial adaptability, stress tolerance, and energy homeostasis, yet the mechanisms underlying these characteristics are not fully elucidated. In Escherichia coli, we reveal a metabolic and regulatory coupling between glycogen and trehalose with the global flux-sensing regulators cAMP-CRP and Cra during the stationary phase. Using...
