Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium meliloti strain GRM8 is able to transform ornithine into proline by means of an ornithine cyclodeaminase and, therefore, has the ability to use either of these amino acids as its sole carbon and nitrogen source. By Tn5 insertion mutagenesis we obtained a GRM8 mutant derivative strain (L...
