Abstract

Summary: A new mutation, D, determining resistance of to nalidixic acid (NAL) is reported. The mutant described is resistant to NAL at 37°C but sensitive at 30 C. It is defective in penetration of NAL and glycerol through the outer membrane at 37°C. The mutation is located half-way between 89 and 89.5 min on the genetic map.
