Abstract excerpt
This article reports on experimental evidence that an Escherichia coli nanR mutant shows inhibited growth in N-acetylneuraminic acid. This effect is prevented when inocula are grown in an excess of glucose, but not in an excess of glycerol. The nanATEK operon is controlled by catabolite repression, suggesting that diminished expression of the nanATEK operon in the presence of glucose explains the inocula effects....
