Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli hupA hupB double mutants, lacking both subunits (HU1 and HU2) of the histone-like protein HU, accumulate secondary mutations. In some genetic backgrounds, these include mutations in the minCDE operon, inactivating this system of septation control and resulting in the formation of...
