Abstract
The possibility of an association between cyclopropane fatty acid content and tetracycline resistance was re-examined by comparing the sensitivities of wild-type and cyclopropane fatty acid defficient mutants to tetracycline and analyzing the fatty acid composition of strains which are isogenic apart from the tetracycline resistance region. Tetracycline resistance is apparently not associated with a decrease in cyclopropane fatty acid content.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
