Mutants carrying conditionally lethal mutations in outer membrane genes omsA and firA (ssc) are phenotypically similar, and omsA is allelic to firA.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1992

Vuorio R, Vaara M

Abstract excerpt

We have previously identified the gene (the ssc gene) defective in the thermosensitive and antibiotic-supersusceptible outer membrane permeability mutant SS-C of Salmonella typhimurium and shown that this gene is analogous to the Escherichia coli gene firA (L. Hirvas, P. Koski, and M. Vaara, EMBO...
