Involvement of the oscA gene in the sulphur starvation response and in Cr(VI) resistance in Pseudomonas corrugata 28.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas corrugata 28 is a Cr(VI)-hyper-resistant bacterium. A Cr(VI)-sensitive mutant was obtained by insertional mutagenesis using EZ-Tn5 <R6Kgammaori/KAN-2>Tnp. The mutant strain was impaired in a gene, here named oscA (organosulphur compounds), which encoded a hypothetical small protein of unknown function. The gene was located upstream of a gene cluster that encodes the components of the sulphate ABC...
