Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the requirement of outer membrane porins for osmotic adaptation at alkaline pH in Escherichia coli. METHODS AND RESULTS: Escherichia coli mutants deficient in ompC, ompF and both genes were constructed and the growth of these mutants was observed at alkaline pH. The growth rate of the mutant deficient in both ompC and ompF was slower than that of the wild type and mutants deficient in one of...
