Syntrophism (cross-feeding) could be demonstrated between mutants of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis, and previously characterized mutants of Bacillus subtilis, auxotrophic for arginine, histidine, lysine or phenylalanine. Based on this cross-feeding data, the possible site of blockage in the biosynthetic pathways of the mutants could be inferred.
在偶然分枝杆菌和耻垢分枝杆菌的突变体之间,以及先前已鉴定的枯草芽孢杆菌精氨酸、组氨酸、赖氨酸或苯丙氨酸营养缺陷型突变体之间,可以证明营养互养(交叉摄食)现象。基于这些交叉摄食数据,可以推断出突变体生物合成途径中可能的阻断位点。
