The wild-type strain M90T was mutagenized in genes encoding enzymes involved in the synthesis of (i) aromatic amino acids, (ii) nucleotides, and (iii) diaminopimelic acid. In this way, strains with single (aroB, aroC, aroD, purE, thyA, and dapB) and double (purE aroB, purE aroC, purE aroD, purE thyA) mutations were obtained....
