Escherichia coli mutants lacking NADH dehydrogenase I have a competitive disadvantage in stationary phase.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1993

Zambrano M M, Kolter R

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 b...
