| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Survival of only subpopulation of cells (rather than all of the cells) is the ordinary strategy for bacteria to cope with diverse environments. Certain species switches the type of flagellar to escape from host immune system, and others express competence machinery to incorporate new genetic information. In such cases, expression of cryptic genes (genes that ordinary do not express) in subpopulation is important. We have identified a series of such genes, and termed “esp: expression in subpopulation”, but function of many esp genes still elusive. This study aimed to clarify the functions of esp genes, and found that esp17 is responsible for the resistance to dryness.
