Functional analysis of the protein machinery required for transport of lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:We previously described a bacteriophage of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi designated phiBB-1. This phage packages the host complement of the 32-kb circular plasmids (cp32s), a group of homologous molecules found throughout the genus Borrelia. To demonstrate the ability of phiBB-1 to package and transduce ...
