Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the links between survival of Escherichia coli in sea water microcosms in the laboratory and the presence of porins in the outer membrane. The E. coli strains studied were a wild-type strain and a series of outer membrane protein (omp) mutants. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacteria were suspended in natural or filtered-autoclaved sea water microcosms and numbers determined...
