Abstract excerpt
The lbi (lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis interfering) RNA of phage Acm1, an untranslated RNA transcript of 97 nucleotides, previously shown to affect O-polysaccharide biosynthesis in various Escherichia coli strains, was found to downregulate the synthesis of the D-galactan II component of the O-specific polysaccharide in Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O1. Enzymatic and Pb2+ probing experiments revealed that lbi...
