Abstract excerpt
The Rcs phosphorelay signal transduction system controls genes for capsule production and many other envelope-related functions and is implicated in biofilm formation. We investigated the activation of the Rcs system in a pgsA null mutant of Escherichia coli, which completely lacks the major acidic phospholipids phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin. We found that the Rcs activation, and consequent...
