General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function when the viable but nonculturable state of the bacterium is induced, the rod-shaped cells become coccoid, and various aberrantly shaped intermediates are formed in the initial stage. Among several genes, the expression of dacB, which encodes D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase, is enhanced the most. The proportion of aberrantly shaped cells is significantly lower in the dacB mutant strain than in the parent strain, but the proportion is restored in the presence of the complementary dacB gene Vibrio parahaemolyticus
