Abstract excerpt
An Escherichia coli mutant with three of the promoters for the topoisomerase I gene (topA) deleted, such that only the sigma 32-dependent promoter (P1) remained, had a decreased level of topoisomerase I at 30 degrees C and showed increased thermosensitivity at 52 degrees C. However, it could still develop thermotolerance and had a wild-type level of resistance to 52 degrees C treatment if exposed first to 42...
