Abstract excerpt

Pediococcus halophilus possesses phosphoenolpyruvate:mannose phosphotransferase system (man:PTS) as a main glucose transporter. A man:PTS defective (man:PTSd) strain X-160 could, however, utilize glucose. A possible glucose-transport mechanism other than PTS was studied with the strain X-160 and...
