Sugar-phosphate metabolism regulates stationary phase entry and stalk elongation in Caulobacter crescentus
K. D. de Young, G. Stankeviciute, E. A. Klein
This study identifies mutations in the phosphomannose isomerase gene (manA) that block stalk elongation in Caulobacter crescentus, revealing a role for sugar-phosphate metabolism in regulating stalk synthesis independent of phosphate starvation.
