Altered metabolic flux due to deletion of odhA causes L-glutamate overproduction in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

abstract：:Organic matter in sewage, soil, and aquatic systems may enhance or inhibit the infectivity of viruses associated with particulates (e.g., clay minerals, sediments). The purpose of this investigation was to identify the mechanisms whereby organic matter, in the form of defined proteins, affects the adsorption of reovir...
