Abstract
Glucosamine 6-phosphate was found to be a substrate but not an inducer for the hexose phosphate transport system of Escherichia coli. Wild-type cells grow very poorly on glucosamine 6-phosphate. A mutant was selected that will grow rapidly on glucosamine 6-phosphate because it contains a constitutive hexose phosphate transport system.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
