Abstract excerpt
Lipopolysaccharide and colanic acid are important forms of exopolysaccharides located on the cell surface of Escherichia coli, but their interrelation with the cell stress response is not well understood. In this study, nine mutant strains with different structures of lipopolysaccharide were constructed from E. coli MG1655 by deletion of a single gene or multiple genes. All mutant strains did not produce colanic...
