【摘要】 大肠杆菌DH42突变株碱性条件下对高渗透压敏感。采用mini-Tn5转座突变质粒,同源重组构建突变菌株和DNA片段亚克隆等技术确定了造成大肠杆菌DH42在碱性条件下,对高渗透压敏感的原因是ompC基因突变。通过P1转导,构建了大肠杆菌D9(W3110 ompC::kan)菌株。比较D9菌株和DH42菌株在不同pH和不同盐浓度条件下的生长,发现大肠杆菌ompC基因是大肠杆菌在碱性条件下应对高渗透压环境胁迫的必须基因。更多还原

【Abstract】 The Escherichia coli strain DH42 is sensitive to high osmolarity in an alkaline medium. Using mini-Tn5 mutagenesis, construction of mutant strains by homologous recombination and subcloning of DNA fragment techniques, gene ompC was identi-fied as the key factor that, once disrupted, caused osmosis-sensitivity of E. coli strain DH42 grown in an alkaline medium. Through P1 transduction, a mutant strain, D9 (W3110 ompC:kan), was constructed and growth comparison was performed between DH42 and D9 under different pHs and salt concentrations. The result showed that ompC was necessarily required for hyperosmotic adaptation of E. coli in the alkaline medium.更多还原
