Study of E. coli cells survival during cultivation for several days revealed a characteristic growth curve pattern comprising five phases. Despite differences in growth conditions, measurements, and even speciesspecific features, the general shape of the curve always remains the same, except for some parameters ( Fig. 1 ) [ 1 ].

E. coli is a relatively hearty bacterium and can survive at temperatures of 4°C for extended periods of time (up to 3 months) on solid media, although increased storage times at low temperatures may result in decreased viability. E. coli can also

2017年10月15日 · Transcriptome profiling/expression analysis of E. coli in stationary phase revealed upregulation of genes which are involved in survival during osmotic stress (ots, tre, osm), long-term survival (e.g., bolA, dps, cbpA, and glgS), periplasmic shock (rpoE and rseA), cold shock (csp genes), etc.

Keywords: Escherichia coli; starvation; stationary phase; stress; survival. This review centers on the stationary phase of bacterial culture. The basic processes specific to the stationary phase, as well as the regulatory mechanisms that allow the bacteria to …

2017年7月12日 · In addition, E. coli cells behave as a community of species and give rise to programmed cell death (PCD) for ensuring survival by controlling the cell number and supplying nutrients to sibling cells in long-term stationary phase (LTSP). The main PCD is probably performed by σE in E. coli.

During the growth transition of Escherichia coli culture from the exponential growth to the stationary phase, a number of morphological and physiological changes take place, including cell volume decrease, cell shape change, nucleoid compaction, alteration in cell wall composition, and accumulation of some storage materials (9, 11, 17, 28).

2010年2月1日 · The present work gives a quantitative characterization of several intrinsic cell parameters during the E. coli metabolic cycle. It is shown that IS measurements can distinguish between different life stages of E. coli. It is also shown that the experimental dielectric dispersion curves can be fitted well by the theoretical model.

2010年7月1日 · For example: E. coli cells growing at 37 °C in a nutrient-rich medium divide every 20 min. As exponentially growing bacteria exhaust nutrient sources, cells enter into stationary phase (phase 3) in which no increase in cell number is observed.

2016年4月6日 · E. coli cells, carrying two plasmids encoding for fluorescent proteins GFP and Crimson, are grown into stationary phase with Crimson expression induced. Then the Crimson inducer is removed and a new carbon source is added together with GFP inducer.

2016年9月8日 · Here, we show that bacteriophage T4 can efficiently bind to, infect and kill E. coli in stationary phase, both in the presence and absence of a functional stationary-phase sigma factor, and explore the response of T4-infected stationary phase cells to the addition of fresh nutrients 5 or 24 h after that infection.
