Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli strains with mutations in 3 genes coding for redox functions--torA, nuoM and glpC--are able to grow with pyruvate as carbon source, but are not able to use a combination of serine, glycine and leucine as carbon source, unlike the parent strain which uses either. All three mutants are able to produce and activate L-serine deaminase (L-SD) when grown in glucose minimal medium, and thus should be...
