In vitro peptidoglycan synthesis by envelopes from Escherichia coli tolM mutants is inhibited by colicin M.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1990

Abstract excerpt

An in vitro peptidoglycan synthesis reaction was employed to further characterize the role of the tolM product in colicin M-induced inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis. It was found that the tolM product is not the colicin M target and that this gene product does not play a role in the interact...
