Genetic and Physiological Analysis of Glutamate Decarboxylase in Escherichia coli K-12

Abstract

No correlation was found between glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity and the ability of Escherichia coli K-12 strains to grow on glutamate. A gene, gad, determining GAD activity maps near gltC, which controls glutamate permease.
