Phosphate starvation triggers production and secretion of an extracellular lipoprotein in Caulobacter crescentus.

Life in oligotrophic environments necessitates quick adaptive responses to a sudden lack of nutrients. Secretion of specific degradative enzymes into the extracellular medium is a means to mobilize the required nutrient from nearby sources.
