Variation of intragenic tandem repeat tract of tolA modulates Escherichia coli stress tolerance.

In recent work we discovered that the intragenic tandem repeat (TR) region of the tolA gene is highly variable among different Escherichia coli strains. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the biological function and dynamics of TR variation in E. coli tolA. The biological impact of T...
