Abstract excerpt
Wild-type Campylobacter fetus cells possess S-layer proteins (S+ phenotype), whereas after laboratory passage, spontaneous stable mutants that do not express these proteins (S- phenotype) arise. To determine the molecular mechanisms by which C. fetus changes to the S- phenotype, we studied wild-type strain 23D, from which the sapA gene encoding the 97-kDa S-layer protein has been cloned, and strain 23B, a...
