The stringent response and cell cycle arrest in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
The bacterial stringent response, triggered by nutritional deprivation, causes an accumulation of the signaling nucleotides pppGpp and ppGpp. We characterize the replication arrest that occurs during the stringent response in Escherichia coli.

Phenotypic heterogeneity in mycobacterial stringent response [PDF]
Background A common survival strategy of microorganisms subjected to stress involves the generation of phenotypic heterogeneity in the isogenic microbial population enabling a subset of the population to survive under stress.

Microbial Primer: what is the stringent response and how does it allow bacteria to survive stress? [PDF]
The stringent response is a conserved bacterial stress response that allows bacteria to alter their activity and survive under nutrient-limiting conditions.

Relacin, a novel antibacterial agent targeting the Stringent Response. [PDF]
Finding bacterial cellular targets for developing novel antibiotics has become a major challenge in fighting resistant pathogenic bacteria. We present a novel compound, Relacin, designed to inhibit (p)ppGpp production by the ubiquitous bacterial enzyme ...

Revisiting the stringent response, ppGpp and starvation signaling
Microbial adaptation to environmental stress plays an important role in survival. It is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the survival of microbes under stress, as they may eventually aid in the successful control of the growth and ...

ppGpp: Stringent response and survival
Adaptation to any undesirable change in the environment dictates the survivability of many microorganisms, with such changes generating a quick and suitable response, which guides the physiology of bacteria.

The stringent response in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) [PDF]
The stringent response was elicited in the antibiotic producer Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) either by amino acid depletion (nutritional shiftdown) or by the addition of serine hydroxamate; both led to increased levels of ppGpp and to a reduction in ...
