Abstract excerpt
A novel mutation fruS localised in the fru operon has been obtained. The mutation uncouples expression of genes determining fructose specific uptake and utilization. In the fruS bacteria fruA and fruF genes (coding for enzyme II and FPr, respectively) become constitutive, while the fruK gene (responsible for fructose-1-phosphate kinase synthesis) remains inducible. In contrast to the already known mutations...
