This research investigates the role of the phage lambda receptor in maltose transport in E. coli K-12.
Selected lamB mutants and wild-type strains in a chemostat with low maltose concentrations
Conducted transport studies to measure maltose utilization capacities
Applied antibodies against purified phage lambda receptor to analyze transport effects
LamB mutants show significantly reduced maltose transport capacity at concentrations ≤ 10 µM
Antibody treatment on wild-type strain significantly inhibits maltose transport
Strong evidence suggests a direct involvement of the phage lambda receptor in maltose transport

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Randomized trial demonstrates maltose transport deficiencies in lamB mutants, indicating receptor involvement.

Szmelcman et al. (1975) studied this question.
