Scientists Warm Up to Vibrio Cholerae’s Temperature Adaptation – Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
A protein that helps Vibrio cholerae adapt to temperature has been identified, providing insights into how bacteria change under different conditions.
Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae), the causative agent of cholera, experiences a wide range of temperatures. These include seasonal and inter-annual temperature changes in the aquatic environment (ranging between 12 and 30°C) and the temperature of the human host (37°C). Once inside the host, the shift to the higher temperature regulates virulence gene expression, making adaptation to temperature important for both survival in the environment and infection. Now, scientists have discovered an essential…
