Antioxidant Defenses of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium

  • Chapter
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defenses in Biology

Abstract

Single celled organisms like bacteria encounter the same kinds of complex problems that their multicellular counterparts must deal with. Conditions that cause stress to bacterial cells take many forms—fluctuations in environmental temperature or pH, or exposure to toxic chemicals or radiation. The use of oxygen during aerobic respiration creates special problems for bacterial cells. A buildup in reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells or in a cell’s environment may lead to genotoxic or cytotoxic alterations in cellular DNA, RNA, lipids or protein.
