Abstract excerpt

In the absence of exogenous promoters, plasmid-mediated complementation of the temperature-sensitive ftsW201 allele requires the presence of the full coding sequence of ftsW plus upstream DNA encompassing the C-terminus of mraY and the full coding sequence of murD. We used molecular and genetic t...
