Characteristics and osmoregulatory roles of uptake systems for proline and glycine betaine in Lactococcus lactis.

abstract：:We have identified three new Haemophilus influenzae mutations causing cells to exhibit extreme hypercompetence at all stages of growth. The mutations are in murE, which encodes the meso-diaminopimelate-adding enzyme of peptidoglycan synthesis. All are point mutations causing nonconservative amino acid substitutions, t...
