Abstract excerpt
The transport and phosphorylation of gluconate in E. coli occurs through two systems (GntI and GntII) which duplicate activities. bioH-asd deletion mutants do not grow on media with gluconate as sole carbon source because they lack the GntI system and do not express GntII. Although E. coli c177 is a delta (bioH-asd) mutant, it carries the pyrB linked mutation gnt177 that enables it to metabolize this substrate...
