Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae 62-1, a triple mutant impaired in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis (Phe-, Tyr-, Trp-), excretes chorismic acid into the culture broth. When transformed with plasmids harbouring Escherichia coli genes entC or menF the mutant excretes a mixture of both chorismic and isochorism...
