Heterogeneity and Evolutionary Tunability of Escherichia coli Resistance against Extreme Acid Stress

Heterogeneity and Evolutionary Tunability of Escherichia coli Resistance against Extreme Acid Stress

ABSTRACT Since acidic environments often serve as an important line of defense against bacterial pathogens, it is important to fully understand how the latter manage to mount and evolve acid resistance mechanisms. Escherichia coli, a species harboring many pathovars, is typically equipped with the a...
