Abstract excerpt
Bacteria in a nonfimbriate phase because of continuous aeration of liquid cultures produce FimA in amounts similar to those produced by fimbriate bacteria. However, relatively low FimA production was observed in nonfimbriate-phase cultures obtained by growth on solid media or by anaerobic incubation. Regardless of the fimbrial phase of Salmonella typhimurium, the fimA promoter region was always oriented in the...
