Identification and characterization of a gene that controls colony morphology and auto-aggregation in Escherichia coli K12.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Mar 1990

Warne S R, Varley J M, Boulnois G J, Norton M G

Abstract excerpt

Many Escherichia coli K12 strains undergo switching between two forms which differ in a number of surface properties including colony morphology and the ability to auto-aggregate. This paper describes the identification of a gene which appears to play a part in controlling this switching phenomenon. This gene has been designated mor and is located at 89 minutes on the E. coli chromosome map between the argECBH...
