Control of Enterococcus faecalis sex pheromone cAD1 elaboration: effects of culture aeration and pAD1 plasmid-encoded determinants.

Plasmid - 1 May 1991

Weaver K E, Clewell D B

Abstract excerpt

Aeration of plasmid-free Enterococcus faecalis strains resulted in an 8- to 16-fold decrease in sex pheromone cAD1 activity in culture filtrates. Levels of two unrelated pheromones, cPD1 and cAM373, were unaffected by culture aeration. Aeration also resulted in a decrease in the expression of con...
