Isolation of temperature-sensitive membrane mutants of Escherichia coli K-12

J F Steenbakkers et al. J Bacteriol. 1973 Nov.

Abstract

Mutants with impaired biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids or altered metabolism of the phospholipids were isolated at a rather high frequency from a set of temperature-sensitive lysis mutants. It is suggested that preselection for the lysis phenotype makes it possible to isolate several kinds of mutants affected in the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane.
