A mutant RNA polymerase activates the general stress response, enabling E. coli adaptation to late prolonged stationary phase

This paper identifies an RpoC mutation that enhances σS activity in E. coli, enabling adaptation to late prolonged stationary phase by balancing growth and stress tolerance.

Modulation of rpoS fitness by loss of cpdA activity during stationary-phase in Escherichia coli

This study shows that mutations in rpoS and cpdA modulate RpoS activity and competitive fitness in stationary-phase Escherichia coli.

Molecular Noise Accelerates Cell Division And Death Under Antibiotic Treatment

The paper measures cell division and death rates in E. coli under antibiotic treatment and shows molecular noise drives exponential growth and decay kinetics.
