Melissococcus plutonius is a fastidious honeybee pathogen, and the addition of KH(2)PO(4) to culture medium is required for its growth. Using genome sequences and a newly developed vector, we showed that mutations in genes encoding Na(+)/H(+) antiporter and cation-transporting ATPase are involved in the potassium requirement for growth.
堆囊菌是一种挑剔的蜜蜂病原体,其生长需要在培养基中添加 KH(2)PO(4)。利用基因组序列和新开发的载体,我们发现编码 Na(+)/H(+)反向转运蛋白和阳离子转运 ATP 酶的基因发生突变与生长对钾的需求有关。
