Abstract excerpt
Wild-type Salmonella typhimurium expresses three proline transport systems: a high-affinity proline transport system encoded by the putP gene, and two glycine betaine transport systems with a lower affinity for proline encoded by the proP and proU genes. Although proline uptake by the ProP and ProU transport systems is sufficient to supplement a proline auxotroph, it is not efficient enough to allow proline...
