F- phenocopies: characterization of expression of the F transfer region in stationary phase.

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 transcriptiona...
