Non-canonical activation of OmpR drives acid and osmotic stress responses in single bacterial cells

OmpR is a transcription factor activated in acid and osmotic responses of Gram-negative bacteria, leading to acidification of the bacterial cytoplasm. Here the authors use single cell pH imaging to define the role of OmpR-regulated genes in the acidification response to osmotic and acid stress of Sa...
