Phenotypic Characterization of Null Mutants of ΔcbpA and ΔcbpB in S. enterica Serovar Typhimurium.

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic characteristics of the ΔcbpA and ΔcbpB mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium were comprehensively analyzed to elucidate the roles of these nucleoid-associated proteins in metabolism and stress responses. Both ΔcbpA and ΔcbpB mutants exhibited enhanced growth on carbon sources such as ribose, mannose, fructose, glycerol, galactose and sucrose compared to the wild-type strain....
