Abstract excerpt
Quantitative physiological characterization and isotopic tracer experiments revealed that pyruvate kinase mutants of Bacillus subtilis produced significantly more CO(2) from glucose in the tricarboxylic acid cycle than is explained by the remaining conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate catalyzed by the phosphotransferase system. We show here that this additional catabolic flux into the tricarboxylic...
