Abstract excerpt
A Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39 gene (gabT) encoding a gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) aminotransferase was identified, cloned and characterized. This gene is thought to be involved in GABA metabolism via the GABA shunt pathway, a theoretical bypass of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Mutants in gabT are still able to grow on GABA as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. 2-oxoglutarate-dependent GABA...
