Abstract

Evidence was sought for the existence of an inducible acid tolerance response in Mycobacterium smegmatis. Exposure of M. smegmatis to a sub-lethal, adaptive acidic pH was found to confer a significant level of protection against subsequent exposure to a lethal pH, compared to unadapted cells. Adaptation was dependent on de novo protein synthesis.
