Selection of araB and araC mutants of Escherichia coli B-r by resistance to ribitol

Selection of araB and araC mutants of Escherichia coli B-r by resistance to ribitol

L Katz. J Bacteriol. 1970 May.

Abstract

The growth of strain araC(c)67, which produces the enzymes of the ara operon constitutively, is inhibited by the addition of ribitol. Isolation of strains resistant to ribitol yields mutants of either the araB or araC genes. A model to account for the inhibition by ribitol is discussed.
