Abstract excerpt
The cryptic tellurite resistance (Ter) determinant from RK2Ter has been previously cloned into a pUC8 plasmid (pDT1558). The Ter.determinant was identified as the kilA locus and comprises an operon of three genes: kilA, telA, and telB (also referred to as klaA, klaB, and klaC on RK2(Tes)). Cultures harboring the plasmid pDT1558 displayed an extended lag phase in rpoS- hosts, but grew normally in rpoS+ strains....
