Abstract excerpt
Complementation of an E. coli mutant auxotrophic for the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)--valine, leucine, and isoleucine--by the ilvG gene ( slr2088) of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 indicates that this gene encodes an active alpha-acetohydroxy acid synthase. Differences of response of the recombinants to the addition of the essential amino acids suggested a lower specificity for the initial...
