Leakage of periplasmic enzymes from envA1 strains of Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 1991

Young K, Silver L L

Abstract excerpt

Previous work ascribed antibiotic hypersensitivity of the envA1 mutant to lowered lipopolysaccharide levels and exposure of the lipid bilayer. In the detailed characterization of the EnvA permeability phenotype presented here, the envA1 mutation was shown to confer leakage of the periplasmic enzy...
