A strain of Escherichia coli that has a deletion of the entire dacA gene has been constructed. The complete lack of penicillin-binding protein 5 in this strain establishes that the activity of this protein is not essential for the growth of E. coli.
已构建出一株完全缺失dacA基因的大肠杆菌菌株。该菌株中完全不存在青霉素结合蛋白5,这表明该蛋白的活性对于大肠杆菌的生长并非必不可少。
