Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional regulation of membrane fatty acid composition in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae is distinct from the systems utilized in the model organisms Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The genes encoding the components of type II fatty acid biosynthesis cluster at a single location within the S. pneumoniae genome, and the second gene in this cluster (SPR0376) encodes a transcription...
