Temperature influences the structural and functional properties of cellular components,
necessitating stress responses to restore homeostasis following temperature shift. Whereas …

Bacteria often encounter temperature fluctuations in their natural habitats and must adapt to
survive. The molecular response of bacteria to sudden temperature upshift or downshift is …

Micro-organisms react to a rapid temperature downshift by triggering a physiological
response to ensure survival in unfavourable conditions. Adaptation includes changes in …

Environmental stress is detrimental to cell viability and requires an adequate reprogramming
of cellular activities to maximize cell survival. We present a global analysis of the response …

Bacteria have a remarkable ability to sense environmental changes, swiftly regulating their
transcriptional and posttranscriptional machinery as a response. Under conditions that …

Upon cold shock, Escherichia coli cell growth transiently stops. During this acclimation
phase, specific cold shock proteins (CSPs) are highly induced. At the end of the acclimation …

The heat shock response is crucial for organism survival in natural environments. RNA
structure is known to influence numerous processes related to gene expression, but there …

Upon cold shock Escherichia coli transiently stops growing and adapts to the new
temperature (acclimatization phase). The major physiological effects of cold temperature are …

One of the many important consequences that temperature down-shift has on cells is
stabilization of secondary structures of RNAs. This stabilization has wide-spread effects …

Upon temperature downshift below the lower threshold of balanced growth (~ 20° C), the
Escherichia coli translational apparatus undergoes modifications allowing the selective …
