Increase in the catalytic rate of beta-galactosidase by selection in chemostats at changing dilution rates.

Abstract excerpt

The experiments presented in this paper explore whether mutants with catalytically more active beta-galactosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.23) can be selected in lactose-limited chemostats. This experimental system has been chosen because lactose metabolism in Escherichia coli is well understood both from a biochemical and genetic point of view. In a lactose-limited chemostat with constant dilution rates, both...
