Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 1998
Frost Laura S, Manchak Jan
Abstract excerpt
The phenomenon of 'F- phenocopies' in which F+ cells become transfer-deficient in stationary phase seems contradictory to the proposed role for F transfer in adaptive mutation during stationary phase induced by nutrient limitation. The expression of a range of transfer genes at the transcriptional and translational level in stationary phase has been characterized as well as the degree of nicking at the origin of...
