Abstract excerpt
The inactivation of ampD in Pseudomonas aeruginosa leads to a partially derepressed phenotype, characterized by a moderately high level basal ampC expression that is still further inducible, due to the presence of two additional ampD genes in this species (ampDh2 and ampDh3). The sequential inactivation of the three ampD genes was shown to lead to a stepwise upregulation of ampC expression, reaching full...
