Abstract

Exposure of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to menadione, cumene hydroperoxide, and diamide strongly induced trxA expression. The trxA mutant showed a reduction in the aerobic growth rate and plating efficiency and was cytochrome c oxidase negative. Atypically, the mutant has decreased resistance to menadione but an increased H2O2 resistance phenotype.

By using a knockout mutation of trxA to test in altered oxidative stress resistant environments it was found that the inactivation of the gene caused higher levels of damaging oxidative macromolecules. It can be seen in Figure 1 that thioredoxin is needed under these conditions and TrxA is expressed to produce this macromolecule.
