Rhizobium meliloti mutants unable to synthesize anthranilate display a novel symbiotic phenotype.

abstract：:The glpD (MSMEG_6761) gene encoding glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was shown to be crucial for M. smegmatis to utilize glycerol as the sole carbon source. The glpD gene likely forms the glpFKD operon together with glpF and glpK, encoding a glycerol facilitator and glycerol kinase, respectively. The gylR (MSMEG_675...
