Abstract excerpt
Most Escherichia coli K12 strains survive for a relatively long time outside the laboratory. Under the same conditions the isoallelic E. coli K12 relA mutants die faster because they lack the stringent response. The killing rate is increased by using a plasmid-encoded suicide system consisting of the phage T7 lysozyme gene driven by the E. coli alkaline phosphatase gene promoter (phoA). Cells containing this...
