Abstract excerpt
In Salmonella typhimurium, a chromosomal gene termed ssc has been shown to cause an antibiotic-supersensitive phenotype. We studied the effect of the ssc gene on the chemical composition of the lipopolysaccharide component, using a thermosensitive ssc1 mutant (SH7622) that grows poorly at 42 degr...
