Stationary phase is the stage when growth ceases but cells remain metabolically active.
Several physical and molecular changes take place during this stage that makes them …

The electron-transport chains of Escherichia coli are composed of many different
dehydrogenases and terminal reductases (or oxidases) which are linked by quinones …

Examines the complete sequence of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) from
enteropathogenic Escherichia coli E2348/69. Division of LEE into three functional domains; …

Inheritable bacterial defence systems against phage infection and foreign DNA, termed
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), consist of cas protein …

The effect of the bacterial heat-stable nucleoid-structuring (H-NS) protein on gene
expression is overwhelmingly negative and extends throughout the genome, pointing to an …

H‐NS is a small chromatin‐associated protein found in enterobacteria. H‐NS has affinity for
all types of nucleic acids but binds preferentially to intrinsically curved DNA. The major role …

The recently discovered prokaryotic CRISPR/Cas defence system provides immunity against
viral infections and plasmid conjugation. It has been demonstrated that in Escherichia coli …

Two recent reports have indicated that the H-NS protein in Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium has a key role in selectively silencing the transcription of large numbers of …

When conditions cause bacterial growth to stop, extensive reprogramming of physiology and
gene expression allows for the cell's survival. We used whole‐genome DNA arrays to …

Despite almost 40 years of molecular genetics research in Escherichia coli a major fraction
of its Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) are still unknown, limiting therefore our understanding …
