Gene - 30 Apr 1990
Kano Y, Imamoto F
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli mutants deficient in histone-like protein, HU, and integration host factor (IHF) were constructed and their growth characteristics were examined. Mutants deficient in both HU and IHF grew slowly and were filamentous at both 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C. These mutants scarcely gr...
