Transcriptome analysis of the E. coli pgsA null strains with special attention to the genes affected by growth temperatureTranscriptome analysis of the E. coli pgsA null strains with special attention to the genes affected by growth temperature (CBX16). unidentified

An Escherichia coli pgsA null mutant deficient in acidic phospholipids shows a thermosensitive cell lysis phenotype because of activation of the Rcs phosphorelay signal transduction system. Aiming to elucidate which of the genes under control of the Rcs system are responsible for the thermosensitive lysis phenotype, a DNA microarray analysis was conducted with special attention to the genes affected by growth temperature in the pgsA mutant.
