Membrane mutation affecting energy-linked functions in Escherichia coli K 12.

Abstract:

:A small-colony forming variant of Escherichia coli with a mutation in the ncf gene was analysed. The alternation of the protein composition in the cytoplasmic membrane and the interaction with K and E group colicins indicated a membrane mutation. The effect of this mutation on some membrane-bound processes, the activity of Mg2+-activated ATPase, the growth on different carbon sources and the active transport of amino acids, is described. This mutation does not exert any effect on the electron transport system.

  • Subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes isolates by actA gene sequencing, PCR-fingerprinting, and cell-invasion assay.

    abstract::Analysis of actA gene sequence polymorphism has been shown to be an effective and relatively inexpensive method for subtyping Listeria monocytogenes isolates, allowing the division of the population of this species into two deeply separate lineages. This sequence-based method as well as PCR-mediated fingerprinting wer...
