Temperature-sensitive mutation in lytF, a new gene involved in autolysis of Escherichia coli.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Dec 1993

Abstract excerpt

A temperature-sensitive mutation in a new Escherichia coli gene, located at 62.5 min on the linkage map and designated lytF, resulted in bacteriolysis at the restrictive temperature. Temperature sensitivity and lytF-mediated lysis were simultaneously suppressed by either of two previously describ...
