Phenotypic indications of FtsZ inhibition in hok/sok-induced bacterial growth changes and stress response (2018)
Journal Article
Chukwudi, C. U., & Good, L. (2018). Phenotypic indications of FtsZ inhibition in hok/sok-induced bacterial growth changes and stress response. Microbial Pathogenesis, 114, 393-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micpath.2017.12.023

The hok/sok locus has been shown to enhance the growth of bacteria in adverse growth conditions such as high temperature, low starting-culture densities and antibiotic treatment. This is in addition to their well-established plasmid-stabilization eff... Read More about Phenotypic indications of FtsZ inhibition in hok/sok-induced bacterial growth changes and stress response.
