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 conditions which increase the concentration of the intracellular proline pools: catabolism of the dipeptide...
