Abstract excerpt

The product of the firA (ssc) gene is essential for growth and for the integrity of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Recently, Kelly and coworkers (T. M. Kelly, S. A. Stachula, C. R. H. Raetz, and M. S. Anderson, J. Biol. Chem., 268:19866-19874, 1993) identified...
