Abstract excerpt
To understand the mechanisms that allow the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli to make the transitions between growth and stationary phase and to maintain cell viability during starvation, we have looked for mutants defective in stationary-phase survival (a Sur- phenotype). In this paper we describe a conditional E. coli mutant, surB1, that grows normally and remains viable during stationary phase but is unable...
