FORMING AND WAKING DORMANT CELLS: THE PPGPP RIBOSOME DIMERIZATION PERSISTER MODEL

Procaryotes starve and face myriad stresses.The bulk population actively resists the stress, but a small population weathers the stress by entering a resting stage known as persistence.No mutations occur, and so persisters behave like wild-type cells upon removal of the stress and regrowth; hence, persisters are phenotypic variants.In contrast, res

ABSTRACT One mission of the Microbial Observatory Experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) is to examine the traits and ut solution gel for cats diversity of fungal isolates to gain a better understanding of how fungi may adapt to microgravity environments and how this may affect interactions with humans in a closed habitat.Here, we rep
