First evidence for gene replacement in Leptospira spp. Inactivation of L. biflexa flaB results in non-motile mutants deficient in endoflagella.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 2001

Picardeau M, Brenot A, Saint Girons I

Abstract excerpt

Leptospira spp. offer many advantages as model bacteria for the study of spirochaetes. However, homologous recombination between introduced DNA and the corresponding chromosomal loci has never been demonstrated. A unique feature of spirochaetes is the presence of endoflagella between the outer me...
