Abstract excerpt
The motile TnphoA mutant IC24 of Proteus mirabilis U6450 generates an aberrant swarming colony, and was shown to be impaired in swarm cell differentiation, i.e. cell elongation and hyperflagellation, causing delayed and slower population migration across a solid growth medium. Levels of transcrip...
