Abstract excerpt
The melibiose carrier of Salmonella typhimurium is under the control of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS). We isolated mutants of the melibiose carrier that showed resistance to inhibition via the PTS. Growth of the mutants on melibiose was not inhibited by 2-deoxyglucose, a non-metabolizable substrate of the PTS, although growth of the parent strain was inhibited. Transport...
