Ultrastructural studies on a mutant of Bacillus subtilis whose growth is inhibited due to insufficient autolysin production.

abstract：:Although BBA74 initially was described as a 28-kDa virulence-associated outer-membrane-spanning protein with porin-like function, subsequent studies revealed that it is periplasmic and downregulated in mammalian host-adapted spirochetes. To further elucidate the role of this protein in the Borrelia burgdorferi tick-ma...

abstract：:The major cotransduction gap of the Escherichia coli chromosome extends from mini 31 to 34. We have inserted transposons through this gap which, by sequential transduction, link sbcA (min 29.8) with manA (min 35.7) and thus eliminate the gap. These results indicate that the length of DNA in the region, as measured by ...
