Genetic suppression and phenotypic masking of a Myxococcus xanthus frzF- defect.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 1995

Abstract excerpt

An insertion of transposon Tn5-lac, omega 4519, generates a lacZ fusion with a Myxococcus xanthus promoter expressed during both vegetative growth and development. Sequence analysis of the junction of omega 4519 with M. xanthus DNA shows that the insertion is in frzF, a homologue of cheR from Sal...
