Abstract excerpt
The present experiments were done to elucidate the roles of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase system in defense against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Escherichia coli. The thioredoxin-deficient mutant (trxA) was more sensitive to H2O2 than was the wild-type strain, when challenged in the stationary and exponentially growing phase. Thioredoxin reductase-deficient mutant (trxB) in the stationary phase also...
