Abstract excerpt
Thiamine is thought to be synthesized by two alternative pathways, one involving the first four enzymes of the purine pathway and a second that can function independently of the purine pathway. Insertion mutations in purG and purI prevent thiamine synthesis through the alternative pyrimidine bios...
