RESUMO
Intracellular hydrogen peroxide is regulated in Escherichia coli by OxyR in response to the metabolic production of H2O2. Here, we show that the untranslated oxyS RNA controlled by OxyR has a role in this regulation. The oxyS transcript appears to affect the metabolic output of H2O2 rather than the removal of H2O2 by catalases-hydroperoxidases.
