Abstract excerpt
The reason(s) for glucose sensitivity in certain cyanobacterial strains is poorly understood. Inactivation of genes encoding the putative sensor kinase Hik31 in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 resulted in a mutant unable to grow in the presence of D-glucose. Sensitivities to D-glucose, its analogue 2-deoxy-D-glucose, and fructose, were alleviated in mutants in which glcP, encoding the glucose transporter, was...
