Abstract excerpt

Salmonella typhimurium can degrade proline for use as a carbon, nitrogen, or energy source. To determine whether a futile cycle occurs which degrades the proline accumulated by proline biosynthesis, we studied the expression and enzymatic activity of the proline utilization (put) pathway under co...
