Mutation in the crp gene of Salmonella typhimurium which interferes with inducer exclusion.

B J Scholte, P W Postma
PMCID: PMC293685  PMID: 6245055

Abstract

A mutation in the crp gene of Salmonella typhimurium is described which overcame the defects of ptsHI deletion mutants for growth on a number of nonphosphotransferase system compounds. This mutation abolished inducer exclusion in a leaky ptsI mutant. The possible implications for the mechanism of inducer exclusion are discussed.
