| Abstract |
Dilute cultures of wild-type Escherichia coli K12 and of derivatives impaired in one or other Enzyme-II component of the glucose phosphotransferase system were grown in continuous culture under glucose limitation. Cells harvested from the chemostat took up [U-14C]glucose from 0.1 mM solutions at rates directly related to the rates at which those cells had grown; the activity of the phosphotransferase system in those cells, rendered permeable with optimal accounts of toluene, parallels the ability of the cells to take up glucose. The capacity of these systems was rate-limiting for growth under the negligibly low glucose concentration in the chemostat, but was adequate to account for the stimulation of respiration observed when the cells were presented suddenly with excess glucose. |
