Abstract excerpt

A Mycobacterium tuberculosis metA mutant that is auxotrophic for methionine is unlike other auxotrophic mutants of this important species as methionine starvation results in rapid death instead of cessation of growth. Evidence suggests that this phenotype results from starvation affecting essential pathways that utilize S-adenosylmethionine in addition to methionine.
