Abstract

An lrp gene encoding a leucine-responsive regulatory protein was identified from Vitro vulnificus, and its role in the survival of the organism was assessed by analyzing the stress tolerance of the isogenic mutant, in which the lrp gene had been inactivated. The results demonstrated that Lrp contributes to the survival of V. vulnificus is dependent of the phase of growth.
