Abstract excerpt

rfbT of Salmonella enterica LT2 was previously thought, together with rfaL, to be involved in the ligation of polymerized O antigen to core-lipid A, and three mutants were known. We report the mapping of the mutations to rfbP, the galactosyl-1-phosphate transferase gene, which is now shown to enc...
