Abstract excerpt
The acuJ mutant of Aspergillus nidulans has been shown to lack carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) activity when grown under conditions where this activity is readily detectable in wild-type strains. Revertants selected for growth on acetate recover CAT activity and the ability to grow on long-chain fatty acids. When growing on carbon sources such as sucrose, cytosolic acetyl coenzyme A was generated by adenosine...
