Examination of Serpulina pilosicoli for attachment and invasion determinants of Enterobacteria.

abstract：:To investigate the regulatory mechanism governing antifungal metabolite biosynthesis, two kinds of global regulator genes in Pseudomonas sp. M18, an rpoS and an rsmA gene, were cloned and mutated by inserting with an aacC1 cassette, respectively. Two mutants showed the same regulatory mode with repression of phenazine...
