Geobacter species are key members of the microbial community in many subsurface environments in which dissimilatory metal reduction is an important process. The genome of Geobacter sulfurreducens contains a gene designated rel(Gsu), which encodes a RelA homolog predicted to catalyze both the synthesis and the degradation of guanosine 3',5'-bispyrophosphate (ppGpp), a regulatory molecule that signals slow growth in response to nutrient limitation in bacteria. To evaluate the physiological role of ...[more]
