Abstract excerpt
The excC mutants of Escherichia coli are hypersensitive to drugs such as cholic acid and release periplasmic proteins into the extracellular medium. A 1884 bp fragment carrying the excC gene was isolated and sequenced. It contains the 3' end of the tolB gene which maps at min 17 on the E. coli ma...
