Abstract excerpt
The pentose-phosphate pathway (PPP) is an important part of central metabolism in many organisms. A pgl(-) mutation that decreases the efficiency of the second stage of PPP has been described and mapped at approx. 17.2 min of the Escherichia coli chromosome more than 30 years ago. Although it has recently been shown that deletion of ORF ybhE leads to earlier detected Pgl(-) phenotype for E. coli mutant strain,...
