Genetic analysis of Proteus mirabilis mutants defective in swarmer cell elongation

R Belas et al. J Bacteriol. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

Swarmer cell differentiation is a complex process involving the activity of many gene products. In this report, we characterized the genetic locus of Tn5 insertion in each of 12 mutants defective in swarmer cell elongation. The mutations fell into four categories affecting either flagellar biosynthesis or energetics, lipopolysaccharide and cell wall biosynthesis, cellular division, or proteolysis of peptides.
