Abstract excerpt
Using localized mutagenesis of whole cells, we have isolated a temperature-sensitive UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferase mutant of Escherichia coli that loses all detectable acyltransferase activity and quickly dies after a shift from 30 to 42 degrees C. Acyltransferase activity and temperature resistance are restored by transforming the mutant with a hybrid plasmid containing the E. coli gene for UDP-GlcNAc...
