Induction of Citrate Transport in Bacillus subtilis During the Absence of Phospholipid Synthesis

PMCID: PMC285124  PMID: 4324807

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.
