Protein Patterns of Growing and Starved Cells of a Marine Vibrio sp. †

PMCID: PMC242533  PMID: 16346308

Abstract

Fingerprint protein patterns were produced by two-dimensional polyacrylamide electrophoresis on lysed cells of a Vibrio sp., Ant-300, which were prepared from growing and starved cultures. The cells were labeled with [35S]methionine during growth and subsequently starved for up to 30 days. Samples were taken at selected time points representing stages in the starvation-survival process. Unlabeled starved cells were allowed to recover in the presence of [35S]methionine to determine protein changes associated with the recovery from starvation. All growth conditions produced similar protein fingerprints; however, some protein spots disappeared, whereas others were seen only during starvation.
