abstract：:The signal that triggers the expression of the ace operon and, in turn, the transition of central metabolism's architecture from acetogenic to gluconeogenic in Escherichia coli remains elusive despite extensive research both in vivo and in vitro. Here, with the aid of flux analysis together with measurements of the en...

abstract：:The growth of Escherichia coli is inhibited by an antibiotic compound, azaserine (O-diazoacetyl-L-serine). Previous studies revealed the biochemical properties of azaserine, which involves inhibition of various enzymatic reactions as well as introduction of DNA breakage. However, genetically, nothing has been elucidat...
