Abstract excerpt
The gentamicin 2'-N-acetyltransferase [EC 2.3.1.59; AAC(2')-Ia] of Providencia stuartii was shown to contribute to the O-acetylation of peptidoglycan and mutants that either under- or overexpress the aac(2')-Ia gene was characterized phenotypically to possess either lower or higher levels of pept...
