THE STATIONARY PHASE OF THE BACTERIAL LIFE CYCLE
Abstract
In the natural environment bacteria seldom encounter conditions that permit periods of exponential growth. Rather, bacterial growth is characterized by long periods of nutritional deprivation punctuated by short periods that allow fast growth, a feature that is commonly referred to as the feast-or-famine lifestyle. In this chapter we review the recent advances made in our understanding of the molecular events that allow some gram-negative bacteria to survive prolonged periods of starvation. After an introductory description of the properties of starved gram-negative bacteria, the review presents three aspects of stationary phase: entry into stationary phase, responses during prolonged starvation, and reentry into the growth cycle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
