Abstract excerpt
The phenomenon of phase variation in the insect-pathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus luminescens was investigated. Differential activity of the lipase enzyme (EC 3.1.1.3) was observed between the two phases of the bacteria. The enzyme was found to be secreted into the culture medium, and about five t...
