Abstract excerpt
The role of caf1M gene in biogenesis of Yersinia pestis capsule was studied in natural strains of the agent with Fra+/- phenotypes and recombinant variants with ycaA (caf1+;caf1M;caf1A+;caf1R+) locus defect. These bacteria did not form a clearly discernible capsule stained by classical methods but synthesized Cafl, whose content in the cells was many times higher than in lysates, in external cell wall, and in the...
