Isolation and characterization of Staphylococcus aureus starvation-iinduced, stationary-phase mutants defective in survival or recovery
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to identify and characterize Staphylococcus aureus mutants defective in the starvation-induced stationary phase of growth. Mutants were isolated from two independent Tn917-LTV1 transposon insertion libraries and were designated suv since they had survival defects. The identification of several transposon-disrupted ORFs encoding putative components, namely, suv-1, suv-3, suv-9 and suv-20 was performed using DNA sequence analysis.
