Abstract excerpt
The T-even type coliphage M1 uses the outer membrane protein OmpA as a receptor. Host range mutants were isolated in two sequential steps, the first resulting in strains able to use the porin OmpC, the second in mutants using the outer membrane protease OmpT as receptor. The mutational alteration...
