Isolation and characterization of an Escherichia coli B mutant strain defective in uracil catabolism.

Canadian journal of microbiology - 1 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

A reductive pathway of uracil catabolism was shown to be functioning in Escherichia coli B ATCC 11303 by virtue of thin-layer chromatographic and enzyme analyses. A mutant defective in uracil catabolism was isolated from this strain and subsequently characterized. The three enzyme activities associated with the reductive pathway of pyrimidine catabolism were detectable in the wild-type E. coli B cells, while the...
