Abstract excerpt
The periplasmic acid glucose-1-phosphatase (G-1-Pase) encoded by gene agp is necessary for the growth of Escherichia coli in a minimal medium containing glucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P) as the sole source of carbon. From a mutant in which the agp gene was inactivated, suppressors were isolated which r...
