Abstract excerpt
A conditional-lethal mutant was isolated as having a flagellar regulatory phenotype at 30 degrees C and being unable to grow at 42 degrees C. Chromosomal mapping localized the mutation to the serT gene, which encodes an essential serine tRNA species (tRNA((cmo)5UGA)(Ser)). DNA sequence analysis revealed the mutation to be a single base change in G:A at position 10 of the serT gene that lies within the D-stem of...
