Growth of Escherichia coli E-26 on valeric acid results in the formation of a mutant population characterized by the ability to form constitutively several glyoxylate-condensing enzymes. This mutant also differs from the parent organism in the ability to effect rapid growth on a series of short-chain fatty acids. These mutants were utilized in postulating genetic relationships among the various glyoxylate-condensing activities and also in correlating the presence of these enzymes with the ability of the mutants to initiate growth quickly on short-chain fatty acids.
大肠杆菌E - 26在戊酸上生长会导致形成一个突变群体,其特征是能够组成型地形成几种乙醛酸缩合酶。该突变体在一系列短链脂肪酸上实现快速生长的能力方面也与亲本生物体不同。这些突变体被用于推测各种乙醛酸缩合活性之间的遗传关系,以及将这些酶的存在与突变体在短链脂肪酸上快速启动生长的能力相关联。
