Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the heat shock gene, htpG, causes severe defects of several cellular functions in Escherichia coli. A null htpG mutant constructed by gene replacement was impaired in the biosynthesis and secretion of several enzymes, and in biofilm formation and proteolysis. A significant decrease in the activity of β-lactamase in the ΔhtpG mutant was observed at 42°C. The alkaline phosphatase activity in sonicates...
