Abstract excerpt
We investigated aerobic metabolism in Haemophilus influenzae to better understand its essential physiological growth pathways. We describe the isolation and characterization of transposon insertions leading to knockout mutations in lpdA, encoding dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. H. influenzae Rd lpdA::Tn10d-cat mutants were unable to grow aerobically and an H. influenzae type b lpdA::Tn10d-cat mutant was...
