Selection of Bacillus subtilis mutants impaired in ammonia assimilation.

D R Dean, A I Aronson
PMCID: PMC293731  PMID: 6102555

Abstract

The selection of Bacillus subtilis mutants capable of using D-histidine to fulfill a requirement for L-histidine resulted in mutants with either no glutamate synthase activity or increased amounts of an altered glutamine synthetase.
