Abstract excerpt
The psychrotrophic bacterium Yersinia enterocolitica is characterized by temperature-dependent adaptations. To investigate Y. enterocolitica genes involved in cold adaptation, a mutant restricted in its ability to grow at 5 degrees C was isolated from a transposon mutant library. The transposon insertion site in this psychrotrophy-defective (PD) mutant mapped 16 bp upstream of an open reading frame whose...
