Abstract
Citrate transport can be induced in a glycerol-requiring mutant of Bacillus subtilis even after deprival of glycerol. Under these conditions de novo phospholipid synthesis is stopped although ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, and protein syntheses continue. It is concluded that the inducibility of bacterial transport systems must not necessarily require de novo phospholipid synthesis.
