Insights on Osmotic Tolerance Mechanisms in Escherichia coli Gained from an rpoC Mutation

An 84 bp in-frame duplication (K370_A396dup) within the rpoC subunit of RNA polymerase was found in two independent mutants selected during an adaptive laboratory evolution experiment under osmotic stress in Escherichia coli, suggesting that this mutation confers improved osmotic tolerance. To deter...
