Abstract

The expression of the genes for the major outer membrane proteins OmpF and OmpC are osmoregulated. The ompC locus was found to be transcribed bidirectionally under conditions of high osmolarity and a 174-base transcript encoded upstream of ompC was found to inhibit the OmpF production and to substan...
