Abstract excerpt
A transposon Tn917-induced mutant strain of Staphylococcus xylosus was isolated that required exogenous cysteine for growth. The transposon was found to reside within a gene, designated cysE, encoding a protein of 216 amino acids with a high level of similarity to bacterial serine acetyltransferases. The cysE::Tn917 mutant completely lost serine acetyltransferase activity, which is easily detectable in the...
