Abstract excerpt
bfpA expression in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli is regulated by growth medium, temperature, and ammonium concentration and requires the BfpT protein (also called PerA), a member of the AraC family of transcriptional activators. Site-directed and PCR random mutagenesis, as well as deletion an...
