Abstract excerpt

Tn10 mutants of Escherichia coli MC4100 were screened for their inability to grow under iron deficiency and for their inability to grow under anaerobiosis in the presence of fumarate as an electron acceptor. A strain so obtained (E. coli PBB1) lacked the ability to convert chorismic acid to isoch...
