… Mutations confirmed that T 1 and T 6 are the essential positions in −10 hexamer and that the
G at the second position upstream of the −10 is also vital. Mutation of the G at the second nt …

Corynebacteria belong to a distinct Gram-positive group of bacteria including mycobacteria
and nocardia, which are characterized by the presence of mycolic acids in their cell wall. …

PO 4 ·H 2 O, 3 g of K 2 HPO 4 , 0.5 g of NaCl and 0.1 g of CaCl 2 , supplemented with 10 mg …

In this chapter we report on the molecular biology of crystalline surface layers of different
bacterial groups. The limited information indicates that there are many variations on a common …

… The first peak exhibited an average density of 1.695 g ml −1 , whereas a second subdominant
DNA peak was detected at a density of 1.730 g ml −1 . Both were recovered, designated …

The titration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by bioluminescence permits rapid evaluation
of the quantity of viable micro-organisms present in a water sample. During two sampling …

PS2 is one of two major proteins detected in the culture media of various Corynebacterium
glutamicum strains. The coding and promoter regions of the cspB gene encoding PS2 were …

Mycolic acids, long‐chain (C 70 –C 90 ) α‐alkyl, β‐hydroxy fatty acids, are characteristic cell
envelope components of mycobacteria; similar but shorter‐chain substances occur in …

… Antibiotics were added to final concentrations of 100g ml¹1 for ampicillin, 50 g ml¹1 for
kanamycin, and 5 g ml¹1 for chloramphenicol (C. glutamicum). Transformation of C. …

Mycolic acids, the major lipid constituents of Corynebacterineae, play an essential role in
maintaining the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope. We have previously characterized a …
