Synergistic induction of the heat shock response in Escherichia coli by simultaneous treatment with chemical inducers.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Escherichia coli strains carrying transcriptional fusions of four sigma 32-controlled E. coli heat shock promoters to luxCDABE or lacZ reporter genes were stressed by chemicals added singly or in pairs. Much more than additive induction resulted from combinations of cadmium chloride, copper sulfate, ethanol, formamide, 4-nitrophenol, and pentachlorophenol.
