Abstract excerpt
Derivatives with insertional inactivation of prqA and mvrA genes were obtained and studied in the Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 wild-type strain and in the mutant Prq20 resistant to methyl viologen (MV). It was shown that the formation of resistance to MV is associated with the operation of two systems: constitutive and inducible. The prqA gene encoding drug efflux proteins controls the constitutive system of cell...
