Transcriptome Analysis of the Progressive Adaptation of Lactococcus lactis to Carbon Starvation

Abstract
Adaptation of Lactococcus lactis towards progressive carbon starvation is mediated by three different types of transcriptomic responses: (i) global responses, i.e., general decreases of functions linked to bacterial growth and lack of induction of the general stress response; (ii) specific responses functionally related to glucose exhaustion, i.e., underexpression of central metabolism genes, induction of alternative sugar transport and metabolism, and induction of the arginine deiminase pathway; and (iii) other responses never described previously during carbon starvation.
