Stationary phase KCl levels trigger changes in Dps conformation to facilitate its partitioning between reversibly-aggregated deposits and Dps-DNA condensates

Mehak Mahajan, Archit Gupta, Purnananda Guptasarma

This study shows that stationary-phase KCl levels alter Dps conformation, enabling its reversible partitioning between LSPS aggregates and DNA condensates, facilitating DNA packaging during growth resumption.
