Escherichia coli stress response systems and their reaction to terahertz radiation by S. E. Peltek, E. V. Demidova, V. M. Popik, T. N. Goryachkovskaya

“…The obtained data indicate that exposure to nonthermal terahertz radiation induces E. сoli gene networks of oxidative stress and copper ion homeostasis, but does not activate those responding to antibiotics, protonophores, or superoxide anions. The fact that E. сoli/pKatG-GFP and E. сoli/pCopA-GFP biosensors have different activation and reaction periods when exposed to terahertz radiation and natural inducers suggests that reactions of oxidative stress and copper ion homeostasis systems to terahertz radiation are specific.…”
