Abstract excerpt
Acetobacter tropicalis SKU1100 is a thermotolerant acetic acid bacterium that grows even at 42 °C, a much higher temperature than the limit for the growth of mesophilic strains. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the thermotolerance of this strain, we attempted to identify the genes essential for growth at high temperature by transposon (Tn10) mutagenesis followed by gene or genome analysis. Among the 4,000...
