Sensing and responding to environmental signals is a crucial element of bacterial pathogenicity. For a successful progression of infection, virulence gene expression is coordinated in response to habitat-specific environmental signals from the host organism. We are interested in identifying environm

The facultative intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium faces multiple environments during infection, including different cell types as well as extracellular fluids. We propose that Salmonella ascertains its cellular location by assessing the Mg 2ϩ concentration of its milieu.
## Abstract The rate of uptake of the nucleoside uridine increases within minutes after adding a growth stimulus to quiescent 3T3 cells. We have previously shown this uptake rate to be highly sensitive to changes in the intracellular concentration of Mg^2+^. In the present paper, the alteration of
