Abstract

Proteins synthesized in Escherichia coli during recovery from starvation were resolved by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Nine outgrowth-specific proteins, which appeared in two kinetic groups, that were not detected in either starved or exponential-phase cells were synthesized. Five other proteins whose rate of synthesis during outgrowth was > or = 5-fold higher than during exponential growth were observed.
