Erratum for Switzer et al., 'The Adaptive Response to Long-Term Nitrogen Starvation in Escherichia coli Requires the Breakdown of Allantoin'

Bacteria initially respond to nutrient starvation by eliciting large-scale transcriptional changes. The accompanying changes in gene expression and metabolism allow the bacterial cells to effectively adapt to the nutrient-starved state. How the transcriptome subsequently changes as nutrient starvation ensues is not well understood. We used nitrogen (N) starvation as a model nutrient starvation condition to study the transcriptional changes in
