Stressors, Stress Reactions, and Survival of Bacteria: A Review

Stressors, Stress Reactions, and Survival of Bacteria: A Review Recent data on the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses of bacteria are reviewed, with emphasis on their reactions to a variety of stressors (heat, oxidation, cold, osmotic shock, etc.). The mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of sensoring are discussed. It is shown that cross-resistance to stressors and cell-to-cell communication, mediated by chemical metabolites, affect bacterial survival in food products. The stress-antagonizing activity of bacteria is discussed in relation to food product biotechnology. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Springer Journals

Abstract

Recent data on the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses of bacteria are reviewed, with emphasis on their reactions to a variety of stressors (heat, oxidation, cold, osmotic shock, etc.). The mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of sensoring are discussed. It is shown that cross-resistance to stressors and cell-to-cell communication, mediated by chemical metabolites, affect bacterial survival in food products. The stress-antagonizing activity of bacteria is discussed in relation to food product biotechnology.
