Transcriptional responses of Escherichia coli during recovery from inorganic or organic mercury exposure
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Gene expression changes during exponential growth of E. coli MG1655 were compared by RNA-seq after sub-acute exposure to inorganic mercuric chloride (HgCl2) or to the organomercurial, phenylmercuric-acetate (PMA). Differential gene expression revealed common and distinct responses to the mercurials from initial growth stasis through subsequent recovery. Sub-acute mercurial exposures affected expression of ~45% of all genes, many reflecting distinct biochemical damage by each mercurial and the corresponding cellular resources available for recovery of normal growth.
