Abstract excerpt
In this article, we describe the typA gene of Sinorhizobium meliloti, the orthologue of typA/bipA genes found in a wide range of bacteria. We found that typA was required for survival of S. meliloti under certain stress conditions, such as growth at low temperature or low pH and in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The cold-sensitive phenotype of both Escherichia coli bipA and S. meliloti typA mutants...
