Dempsey, WB and Ito, H (1970) Characterization of pyridoxine auxotrophs of Escherichia coli: serine and pdxF mutants. J. Bacteriol. 104:658-67

Abstract

At least six phenotypically distinct classes of mutants of Escherichia coli which require serine or pyridoxine or both can be isolated. Three of the six classes lack 3-phosphoserine-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. One of these classes contains WG5, a mutant previously characterized as containing the pdxF5 allele. The aminotransferase isolated from this mutant has been compared to that isolated from wild-type E. coli and found to have apparently normal affinity for pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, but reduced affinity for pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate.
