Molecular genetic studies of the surface layer of caulobacter crescentus : nucleotide sequencing and analysis of the regular surface array gene, and the effect of surface layer and other variables on the development of electroporation for the caulobacters

The regular surface array gene (rsaA) of Caulobacter crescentus codes for the 130K surface layer (S-layer) protein. This S-layer protein forms a paracrystalline array which completely sheaths the bacterium and is comparable to those of many other bacteria. These studies investigate two aspects of th...
