Abstract excerpt
Strain LH530, a mutant of Escherichia coli K-12, was reported by others to show increased outer membrane permeability, temperature-sensitive growth, and reduced synthesis of lipid A. The unmapped mutant gene was found to be suppressed by high-copy-number plasmids carrying the wild-type acpT gene, which encodes a protein that catalyzes a post-translational protein modification, the attachment of...
