Abstract excerpt
The response of Salmonella typhimurium to low pH includes a low-pH protection system called the acid tolerance response (ATR). The iron-regulatory protein Fur has been implicated in the ATR since fur mutants are acid sensitive and cause altered expression of several acid shock proteins (J. W. Foster, J. Bacteriol. 173:6896-6902, 1991). We have determined that the acid-sensitive phenotype of fur mutations is...
