Abstract excerpt

Strains of Escherichia coli lacking serine transacetylase or a positive regulator (Cys B protein) of the assimilatory sulfate reduction (ASR) pathway were unable to assimilate sulfonate-S, while single mutants in O-acetyl-L-serine sulfhydrylase (either 'A' or 'B') were able to do so. Mutants unab...
