Characterization of a hemin-storage locus of Yersinia pestis.

Biology of metals - 1 Jan 1991

Pendrak M L, Perry R D

Abstract excerpt

The pigmentation phenotype (Pgm+) of Yersinia pestis refers to temperature-dependent storage of hemin as well as expression of a number of other physiological characteristics. Spontaneous mutation to a Pgm- phenotype occurs via a large chromosomal deletion event and results in the inability to express the Pgm+ characteristics. In this study, we have used transposon insertion mutants to define two regions of a...
