Abstract excerpt
Polyamines participate in numerous cellular processes and are required for normal cell growth in Escherichia coli. In this study, we constructed a new polyamine-deficient E. coli mutant and investigated the physiological function of polyamines during normal aerobic growth conditions. We showed that the requirement for sulfur-containing, branched chain, and aromatic amino acids, which was exhibited in the sodA...
