Genetic dissection of catalytic activities of the Salmonella typhimurium mannitol enzyme II.

J E Leonard, M H Saier Jr
PMCID: PMC217227  PMID: 6257647

Abstract

Approximately 60 mutants of Salmonella typhimurium were isolated which exhibited altered levels of the activities of the mannitol enzyme II. The mutants were grouped into six distinct categories based on their mannitol fermentation, transport, chemotaxis, and phosphorylation activities.
