Abstract excerpt
How DNA metabolism is adapted to survival of organisms such as the bacterium Photobacterium profundum SS9 at high pressure is unknown. Previously, a high pressure-sensitive P. profundum SS9 transposon mutant (FL31) was identified, with an insertion in a putative rctB gene. The Vibrio cholerae RctB protein is essential for replication initiation at the origin of chromosome II, oriCII. Using a plasmid-based system...
