Abstract excerpt
The temperature-dependent absorption of sufficient exogenous hemin or Congo red to form pigmented colonies of Yersinia pestis has been termed the pigmentation phenotype (Pgm+). Spontaneous mutation to a Pgm- phenotype results in the loss of a number of divergent physiological characteristics, including the ability to store hemin and to bind Congo red at 26 degrees C. In this study, we generated and isolated...
