Abstract excerpt
We have previously characterized mutant strains of Escherichia coli that are able to take over stationary-phase cultures. Here we describe two insertion mutations that prevent such strains from expressing this phenotype. Both insertions were mapped to min 51, and sequence analysis revealed that both mutated genes encode proteins homologous to subunits of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase I. Crude extracts prepared...
