Abstract excerpt
Due to catabolite repression in microorganisms, sugar mixtures cannot be metabolized in a rapid and efficient manner. Therefore, the development of mutant strains that avoid this regulatory system is of special interest to fermentation processes. In the present study, the utilization of sugar mixtures by an Escherichia coli mutant strain devoid of the phosphotransferase system (PTS) was characterized. This mutant...
