An acid-tolerance response system protecting exponentially growing Escherichia coli
The ability to grow at acidic pH is crucial for E. coli colonization of the host’s intestine. Here, the authors identify an acid-tolerance response system that is important for E. coli exponential growth at pH 4.2, survival in the mouse intestine, and production of 3-hydroxypropionate during ferment...
