Abstract excerpt
Novel ompC(Dex) alleles were utilized to isolate mutants defective in OmpC biogenesis. These ompC(Dex) alleles also conferred sensitivity to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), which permitted the isolation of SDS-resistant and OmpC-specific phage-resistant mutants that remained Dex+. Many mutants acquired resistance against these lethal agents by lowering the OmpC level present in the outer membrane. In the majority...
