Although Escherichia coli strain EC3132 possesses a chromosomally encoded sucrose metabolic pathway, its growth on low sucrose concentrations (5 mM) is unusually slow, with a doubling time of 20 h. In this report we describe the subcloning and further characterization of the corresponding csc genes and adjacent genes. The csc regulon comprises three genes for a sucrose permease, a fructokinase, and a sucrose...
