Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis strain 626, defective in the bfmA gene, is a derivative derivatives of B. subtilis strain 168 and requires branched short-chain carboxylic acids for growth. Branched-chain 2-keto acid decarboxylase activity and fatty acid synthesis in B. subtilis strain 626 were 14 and 7%, respectively, of their levels in strain 626-2R, a spontaneously reverted strain. These results indicate that the bfmA...
