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 enzymes beta-lactamase and RNase I. Leakage was observed in three different genetic backgrounds, including the original...
