Abstract excerpt
L-Serine as well as L-valine inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli cells, and L-isoleucine releases this growth inhibition. We isolated an E. coli mutant (designated as WAT9) that was able to grow on lactate (or glucose) as a carbon source even in the presence of L-serine, the parent not being...
