Identification of an essential gene of Listeria monocytogenes involved in teichoic acid biogenesis.

abstract：:The multicellular developmental cycle of Myxococcus xanthus requires large-scale changes in gene transcription, and recent findings indicate that NtrC-like activators play a prominent role in regulating these changes. In this study, we made insertions in 28 uncharacterized ntrC-like activator (nla) genes and found tha...
