Partial characterization of the factor responsible for tryptophanless death in Bacillus subtilis.

abstract：:A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 was examined which has growth medium-dependent lysyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) ligase activity. In minimal medium or 0.5% yeast extract, the activity of the enzyme in the mutant strain was 5 to 10% of wild type. However, when the mutant was grown in a highly enriched medium, su...
