A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying a deletion in the aroG-nadA region of the genome requires a high concentration of iron for growth. The strain is chromium sensitive, and in the presence of citrate lower concentrations of iron support cell growth. The deletion mutant lost a gene between aroG and nadA that is responsible for the uptake of iron.
大肠杆菌K-12的一个突变体,其基因组的aroG-nadA区域存在缺失,该突变体生长需要高浓度铁。该菌株对铬敏感,并且在柠檬酸盐存在的情况下,较低浓度的铁就能支持细胞生长。该缺失突变体在aroG和nadA之间丢失了一个负责铁摄取的基因。
