Escherichia coli gradually decline the capacity to resist oxidative stress during stationary phase. Besides the aerobic electron transport chain components are down-regulated in response to growth arrest. However, we have previously reported that E. coli cells grown in media containing at least 37mM phosphate maintained ndh expression in stationary phase, having high viability and low NADH/NAD(+) ratio. Here we demonstrated that, in the former condition, other aerobic respiratory genes (nuoAB, sdhC, cydA, and ubiC) expression was maintained. In addition, reactive oxygen species production was minimal and consequently the levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and protein carbonylation were lower than the expected for stationary cells. Interestingly, defense genes (katG and ahpC) expression was also maintained during this phase. Our results indicate that cells grown in high phosphate media exhibit advantages to resist endogenous and exogenous oxidative stress in stationary phase.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
