Lag in adaptation to lactose as a probe to the timing of permease incorporation into the cell membrane.

Abstract:

:If bacteria are incapable of forming and incorporating proteins into the cytoplasmic membranes in all phases of the cell cycle, then not all cells from an asynchronous culture should be capable of growth when switched to a new carbon and energy source whose metabolism requires new membrane function. The transfer of an inducible culture to low lactose provides such a situation since the cells cannot grow unless galactoside permease can function to concentrate the lactose internally. From such experiments, it was concluded that the Y gene product of the lac operon is synthesized, incorporated, and can start functioning in active transport, at any time throughout the bulk of the cell cycle. Not only were the lags before growth re-ensued much shorter than would be expected if the membrane transport capability could only be developed in a small portion of the cycle, but brief pulses of a gratuitous inducer shortened the lags much further. Three types of Escherichia coli ML 30 culture were studied: cells that had exhausted the limiting glucose; cells taken directly from glucose-limited chemostats; and a washed suspension of highly catabolite repressed cells from cultures grown in high levels of glucose and gluconate. The growth studies reported here were performed on-line with a minicomputer. They represent at least an order of magnitude increase in accuracy in estimating growth parameters over previous instrumentation.
