Abstract excerpt
Pyrimidine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain A126 was investigated. In this study, de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway mutant strains were isolated using both conventional mutagenesis and transposon mutagenesis. The resulting mutant strains were deficient for either aspartate transcarbamoylase, dihydroorotase or orotate phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Uracil, uridine or cytosine could support...
