Abstract excerpt
An Escherichia coli K12 mutant defective in both serine biosynthesis (serA) and glycine transport (cycA) was found to exhibit a glycine cleavage negative (GCV-) phenotype, i.e. was unable to use glycine as a serine source. While [2-14C]glycine uptake and induction of a lambda gcvT::lacZ fusion were greatly reduced in a cycA mutant compared to the wild-type, both strains exhibited parallel increases in uptake and...
