Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli phn (psiD) locus encodes genes for phosphonate (Pn) utilization, for phn (psiD) mutations abolish the ability to use as a sole P source a Pn with a substituted C-2 or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group such as 2-aminoethylphosphonate (AEPn) or methylphosphonate (MPn), respectively. Even though the E. coli K-12 phosphate starvation-inducible (psi) phn (psiD) gene(s) shows normal phosphate (Pi)...
