Unique Flexibility in Energy Metabolism Allows Mycobacteria to Combat Starvation and Hypoxia

Mycobacteria are a group of obligate aerobes that require oxygen for growth, but paradoxically have the ability to survive and metabolize under hypoxia. The mechanisms responsible for this metabolic plasticity are unknown. Here, we report on the adaptation of Mycobacterium smegmatis to slow growth r...
