Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which Escherichia coli cells survive exposure to the toxic electrophile N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) have been investigated. Stationary-phase E. coli cells were more resistant to NEM than exponential-phase cells. The KefB and KefC systems were found to play an important role in protec...
