Isolation and characterization of Pseudomonas putida mutants affected in arginine, ornithine and citrulline catabolism: function of the arginine oxidase and arginine succinyltransferase pathways.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas putida mutants impaired in the utilization of arginine are affected in either the arginine succinyltransferase pathway, the arginine oxidase route, or both. However, mutants affected in one of the pathways still grow on arginine as sole carbon source. Analysis of the products excreted...
