Abstract excerpt
From mutants of Escherichia coli unable to utilize fructose via the phosphoenolpyruvate/glycose phosphotransferase system (PTS), further mutants were selected that grow on fructose as the sole carbon source, albeit with relatively low affinity for that hexose (K(m) for growth approximately 8 mM but with V(max) for generation time approximately 1 h 10 min); the fructose thus taken into the cells is phosphorylated...
