Genomewide Transcriptional Responses of Iron-Starved <named-content content-type="genus-species">Chlamydia trachomatis</named-content> Reveal Prioritization of Metabolic Precursor Synthesis over Protein Translation

ABSTRACT Iron is essential for growth and development of Chlamydia. Its long-term starvation in cultured mammalian cells leads to production of aberrant noninfectious chlamydial forms, also known as persistence. Immediate transcriptional responses to iron limitation have not been characterized, leav...
