Abstract excerpt
A library of insertional mutants of Enterococcus faecalis was constructed; it allowed the isolation and the characterization of 10 mutants affected in resistance to bile salts. Insertion loci of two mutants corresponded to genes of unknown function, while the amino acid sequences deduced from the other loci were homologous to proteins related to DNA repair, oxidative response, transcriptional regulation, dGTP...
