Abstract excerpt
The enteric bacterium Salmonella typhimurium utilizes 1,2-propanediol as a sole carbon and energy source during aerobic growth, but only when the cells are also provided with cobalamin as a nutritional supplement. This metabolism is mediated by the cobalamin-dependent propanediol dehydratase enzyme pathway. Thirty-three insertion mutants were isolated that lacked the ability to utilize propanediol, but retained...
