Abstract

When Escherichia coli K-12 was grown on gamma-aminobutyrate, a second succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, dependent upon oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and distinct from that induced by gamma-aminobutyrate, was gratuitously induced by succinic semialdehyde.
