title: [The role of putrescine in of oxidative stress defense genes expression regulation in Escherichia coli].
abstract: The role of putrescine in the adaptive response of Escherichia coli grown aerobically in synthetic M9 medium with glucose to the H2O2-induced oxidative stress was studied. Under oxidative stress, the expression of the single-copy reporter gene fusions oxyR::lacZ and katG::lacZ was found to undergo biphasic changes, which were most pronounced in glucose-starved E. coli cells. The concentration-dependent activating effect of putrescine on the expression of the oxyR regulon genes was maximum when the oxyR gene was inhibited by high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.
