Abstract excerpt
Using a variety of mutagenic methods, we have generated a series of ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants derived from Escherichia coli strains which overproduce the DNA gyrase A protein. Many of these mutants are found to overexpress a 60 kD protein which is shown to be highly homologous in terms of N...
