Escherichia coli protein synthesis is limited by mRNA availability rather than ribosomal capacity during phosphate starvation

Protein synthesis is the most energetically costly process in the cell. Consequently, it is a tightly regulated process, and regulation of the resources allocated to the protein synthesis machinery is at the heart of bacterial growth optimization theory. However, the molecular mechanisms that result...
