Abstract
The Escherichia coli pgsA3 allele encoding a defective phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase is lethal for all but certain strains. Genetic analysis of such strains has revealed that the lethal effect is fully suppressed by the lack of the major outer membrane lipoprotein that consumes phosphatidylglycerol for its maturation.This publication has 43 references indexed in Scilit:
