OxyR-dependent formation of DNA methylation patterns in OpvABOFF and OpvABON cell lineages of Salmonella enterica

Phase variation of the Salmonella enterica opvAB operon generates a bacterial lineage with standard lipopolysaccharide structure (OpvABOFF) and a lineage with shorter O-antigen chains (OpvABON). Regulation of OpvAB lineage formation is transcriptional, and is controlled by the LysR-type factor OxyR...
