Abstract excerpt
The phosphotransacetylase-acetate kinase (Pta-AckA) pathway is thought to be a vital ATP generating pathway for Staphylococcus aureus. Disruption of the Pta-AckA pathway during overflow metabolism causes significant reduction in growth rate and viability, albeit not due to intracellular ATP depletion. Here, we demonstrate that toxicity associated with inactivation of the Pta-AckA pathway resulted from an altered...
