Abstract excerpt
Carbon sources that can be converted to acetate were added to the growth medium of Escherichia coli wild-type cells. Cells responded with an increased cell division rate. The addition of acetate also caused a decreased synthesis of flagella. Mutants in phosphotransacetylase, which are incapable of synthesizing acetyl phosphate, and mutants in the osmoregulator OmpR divided at a lower rate than did wild-type...
