Abstract excerpt
Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426 is a thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium that encodes the myo-inositol-inducible iol operons, the products of which form the myo-inositol catabolic pathway. Strain PS8 is a mutant of HTA426 that is defective in myo-inositol catabolism due to constitutive repression of the iol operons. Several spontaneous suppressor mutants of PS8, which restored growth on myo-inositol, were...
