Defective biosynthesis of the lipid A component of temperature-sensitive firA (omsA) mutant of Escherichia coli.

European journal of biochemistry - 1 Mar 1993

Helander I M, Lindner B, Seydel U, Vaara M

Abstract excerpt

The biosynthesis of lipid A component was shown to be defective in a temperature-sensitive firA mutant of Escherichia coli. Cells were biosynthetically labelled with [14C]acetate and incorporation of radioactivity into the glycerophospholipid compared to lipid A fractions was measured. The lipid A/glycerophospholipid biosynthesis ratio of the firA mutant at 37 degrees C was approximately 50%, and at the...
