The bile response repressor BreR regulates expression of the Vibrio cholerae breAB efflux system operon.

abstract：:PomA is thought to be a component of the ion channel in the sodium-driven polar-flagellar motor of Vibrio alginolyticus. We have found that some cysteine substitutions in the periplasmic region of PomA result in a slow-motility phenotype, in which swarming and swimming speeds are reduced even in the presence of high c...
