Defining the transcriptional adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to a range of nutritional sulfur supplementation.

Paige J. Kies, Cristina Kraemer Zimpel, Joshua M. Lensmire, McKenna R. Major, Troy A. Burtchett, Michael R. Wischer, Neal D. Hammer

This study defines the S. aureus CymR-dependent and -independent sulfur starvation responses using chemically defined growth conditions and identifies key sulfur sources and their regulatory mechanisms.
