Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Escherichia coli devoid of the membrane-spanning proteins PtsG and PtsMP, which are components of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) and which normally effect the transport into the cells of glucose and mannose, do not grow upon or take up either sugar. Pseudorevertants are described that take up, and grow upon, mannose at rates strongly dependent on the mannose...
