Abstract excerpt
An acidic-phospholipid deficiency caused by the pgsA3 allele that encodes a defective phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase in Escherichia coli is lethal. The only known mutations that suppress this lethality fully have been related to the major outer-membrane lipoprotein. We isolated a Bacillus...
