Abstract excerpt
We compared pyruvate accumulation in six strains of Escherichia coli and their corresponding ppc mutants. Each strain contained a mutation of a gene involved in the pathway to acetate synthesis. Strains with mutations in genes encoding the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex generally exhibited the greatest pyruvate accumulation of which CGSC6162 (an aceF mutant) and CGSC6162 Delta ppc were studied in greater detail...
