Abstract excerpt
We compared the phenotype of two thermosensitive Escherichia coli mutants defective in lipid A biosynthesis, i.e. SM101 (lpxA) and CDH23-213 (lpxD). More than 40% of the periplasmic 27-kDa marker enzyme beta-lactamase was released from SM101 at 28 degrees C. At this temperature, the mutant still grew with a generation time (67 min), not much longer than that of the parent control strain (57 min). CDH23-213...
