摘要
The dairy organism, Lactococcus lactis, is continuously exposed to stress conditions generated during industrial processes. To identify the mechanisms that confer resistance to the lethal effects of oxygen and thermal stress, we isolated resistant strains by insertional mutagenesis. Mutated genes were identified and mutations were shown to confer resistance to multiple stresses (including non-selected stresses such as carbon starvation). Our results revealed that metabolic flux plays an important role in L. lactis stress response, and suggested that phosphate and guanine pools may be intracellular stress sensors. As previously shown, we also observed an increase of stress resistance during the stationary phase. We have evidence that stationary phase actually initiates very early during growth. Taken together; these data show that the stationary phase is a very complex system with multiple participants interacting altogether. These results reinforce the idea of the interdependence of stress response and the intimate relation between metabolic flux and stress responses in L. lactis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
