Abstract excerpt
The gltS gene is known to encode a sodium-dependent, glutamate-specific permease. We have localized the Escherichia coli K12 gltS gene with respect to the spoT gene, sequenced it, and recombined a null insertion-deletion allele into the chromosome without loss of viability. The gltS null allele gives a Glt- phenotype, i.e. it abolishes the ability of a gltCc host to grow on glutamate as sole carbon and nitrogen...
