Abstract excerpt
The effect of a kefA mutation on the mechanosensitive channels in the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli was established by introducing a mutation of the kefA gene into wild-type E. coli by P1 transduction. The mutation of the kefA gene not only made the cells sensitive to K+ in the medium but also changed the mechanosensitive channel activity. The kefA mutation did not change the conductances of the two...
