Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Escherichia coli defective in phosphatidylserine synthase (encoded by pss) and phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (encoded by psd) make cell membranes deficient in phosphatidylethanolamine. In this report we show that wild-type pss and psd genes are required for motility and chemotaxis....
