Abstract excerpt
Micrococcin-resistant mutants of Bacillus megaterium that carry mutations affecting ribosomal protein L11 have been characterised. The mutants fall into two groups. "L11-minus" strains containing an L11 gene with deletions, insertions or nonsense mutations which grow 2.5-fold slower than the wild-type strain, whereas other mutants carrying single-site substitutions within an 11 amino acid residue segment of the...
