Abstract excerpt
355 Escherichia coli mutants requiring riboflavin (RF) for their growth were selected using N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The mutants were subdivided into four biochemical groups according to their capability to accumulate fluorescent pigments in the medium and their nature, the ability to grow in a medium containing either diacetyl or 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityl lumazine (DMRL), and the activity of GTP...
