Abstract excerpt
The formation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) in cells growing on TB causes catabolite repression, as shown by the reduction in malT expression. For this repression to occur, the general proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS), in particular EIIA(Glc), as well as the adenylate cyclase and the cyclic AMP-catabolite activator protein system, have to be present. We followed the...
