Background The continuing emergence of antimicrobial resistance requires the
development of new compounds and/or enhancers of existing compounds. Genes that …

Background Economically viable biobased production of bulk chemicals and biofuels
typically requires high product titers. During microbial bioconversion this often leads to …

Stress response helps microorganisms survive extreme environmental conditions and host
immunity, making them more virulent or drug resistant. Although both reductionist …

Bacteria encounter a variety of growth‐compromising conditions both in nature and in the
hosts of pathogenic bacteria. These “stresses” elicit protective and/or adaptive responses …

The mechanisms of the bacterial response to biocides are poorly understood, despite their
broad application. To identify the genetic basis and pathways implicated in the biocide …

Cellular robustness is an important trait for industrial microbes, because the microbial strains
are exposed to a multitude of different stresses during industrial processes, such as …

A better understanding of the impact of antibiotics on bacteria is required to increase the
efficiency of antibiotic treatments and to slow the emergence of resistance. Using …

A complex network of regulatory systems ensures a coordinated and effective response to
different types of stress that can act on a bacterium. Bacterial stress response generates …

Bacterial populations have a remarkable capacity to cope with extreme environmental
fluctuations in their natural environments. In certain cases, adaptation to one stressful …

Gain new insight on utilizing bacterial stress responses to better combat bacterial infection
with antibiotics and improve biotechnology.• Reviews the vast number of new findings that …
