A bifunctional enzyme in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a new pattern in the organization of enzymes concerned with phenylalanine and tyrosine biosynthesis.

abstract：:The alpha-aminoadipate pathway for the biosynthesis of lysine is present only in fungi and euglena. Until now, this unique metabolic pathway has never been investigated in the opportunistic fungal pathogens Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Five of the eight enzymes (homocitrate syn...
