Transport Alterations in a Phosphatidylethanolamine-Deficient Mutant of Bacillus subtilis

James L Beebe a,1
PMCID: PMC285245  PMID: 4621689

Abstract

A mutant of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051, demonstrated to be deficient in phosphatidylethanolamine, was found to differ from the parent strain in the rate of uptake of a variety of metabolites.
