GROWTH OF ESCHERICHIA COLI AND PRODUCTION OF BACTERIOPHAGE IN DEFINED MEDIA

Abstract
The effect of growth in glucose and in acetate on the biosynthetic pathways of pentose and deoxypentose was studied in E. coli and under conditions of bacteriophage T 2H infection. Isotope distribution in the ribose and deoxyribose indicates that cells grown in acetate synthesize pentose by pathways which differ from those used by cells grown in glucose. The labelling pattern in acetate can be explained by the glyoxylate bypass.
