Received 22 July 2005/ Accepted 20 October 2005

We report that the water permeability of wild-type Escherichia coli during exponential growth is comparable to that of an aqpZ disruption mutant. In contrast, an increase in permeability is observed for the wild type at the onset of the stationary stage with no significant corresponding change in the permeability of the mutant.
