Abstract excerpt
An Escherichia coli K-12 mutant, isolated on the basis of its inability to catalyze formate-dependent nitrite reduction, was characterized. The mutant was defective in the synthesis of all known c-type cytochromes during anaerobic growth. The mutation was localized by conjugation, transduction, and Southern blotting experiments to the dsbA gene at minute 87 on the E. coli chromosome and was complemented by the...
