Escherichia coli 469-3 synthesizes fibrillar fimbriae at 37 degrees C, but not at 18 degrees C, which promote its adherence to human colonocytes. RNA homologous with a cloned fragment of the strain 469-3 chromosome necessary for normal expression of fimbriae was virtually undetectable in bacteria grown at 18 degrees C, indicating that environmental temperature affects expression by regulating transcription.
大肠杆菌469 - 3在37摄氏度时合成纤维状菌毛,而在18摄氏度时不合成,这些菌毛可促进其对人结肠细胞的黏附。与菌株469 - 3染色体上正常表达菌毛所需的克隆片段同源的RNA在18摄氏度培养的细菌中几乎检测不到,这表明环境温度通过调节转录来影响表达。
