Table 1. Convergent-application biomarkers for mild stress induced enhanced robustness.
Convergent-application biomarker multiple mild stresses, lethal stress specific | Mild stressa | Lethal stress |
SigB | heat, salt | heat |
ClpC | heat, acid | heat |
ClpP | heat, acid | heat |
clpC | acid, salt | acid |
clpP | acid, salt | acid |
catalase activity | heat, acid, H2O2 | H2O2 |
italic text indicates that mild stress treatment did not significantly induce the biomarker and also did not provide a robustness enhancement towards lethal stress upon pretreatment (no response condition).
