Abstract excerpt
The growth advantage in stationary phase (GASP) phenotype was shown to be present in two mutants lacking the antifungal phenotype (Af(-) mutants) of Pseudomonas aureofaciens PA147-2. Complementation demonstrated a correlation between GASP and the antifungal defect in one strain but not in the second. Sequence analysis revealed the Af(-) GASP strain had a mutation in a gene (finR) encoding a LysR-type regulator....
