Glucose transport as rate-limiting step in the growth of Escherichia coli on glucose.

D Herbert, H L Kornberg
PMCID: PMC1163772  PMID: 782451

Abstract

Over a wide range of growth rates, two strains of Escherichia coli growing aerobically in continuous culture under glucose limitation utilized glucose at rates identical with those at which cells harvested from the chemostats transported [14C]glucose.
