Phenotypes of a mutant
Poor growth on complex media such as SP (sporulation medium). No growth in minimal media with arginine as the only carbon source. Rapid accumulation of suppressor mutants ([gudB |search|''gudB1''])sensitive to ß-lactam antibiotics such as cefuroxime and to fosfomycin (suppressed by activation of ''[protein|search|gudB]'') due to the downregulation of the [SW|SigW regulon] [Pubmed|22178969]transcription profile of a ''[protein|search|rocG] [protein|search|gudB]'' mutant strain: [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE34383&submit.x=22&submit.y=9 GEO] [Pubmed|22178969]The protein
