Mutation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa causing simultaneous defects in penicillin-binding protein 5 and in enzyme activities of penicillin release and D-alanine carboxypeptidase.

abstract：:Expression of toxT, the transcription activator of cholera toxin and pilus production in Vibrio cholerae, is the consequence of a complex cascade of regulatory events that culminates in activation of the toxT promoter by TcpP and ToxR, two membrane-localized transcription factors. Both are encoded in operons with gene...

One to three tuf genes per genome are present, depending on the bacterial species. Most low-G+C-content gram-positive bacteria carry only one tuf gene. We have designed degenerate PCR primers derive...
