Role of gene fadR in Escherichia coli acetate metabolism.

Abstract:

:Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 constitutive for fatty acid degradation (fadR) showed an increased rate of utilization of exogenous acetate. Acetate transport, oxidation, and incorporation into macromolecules was approximately fivefold greater in fadR mutants than fadR+ strains during growth on succinate as a carbon source. This effect was due to the elevated levels of glyoxylate shunt enzymes in fadR mutants, since (i) similar results were seen with mutants constitutive for the glyoxylate shunt enzymes (iclR), (ii) induction of the glyoxylate shunt in fadR+ strains by growth on acetate or oleate increased the rate of acetate utilization to levels comparable to those in fadR mutants, and (iii) fadR and fadR+ derivatives of mutants defective for the glyoxylate shunt enzymes showed equivalent rates of acetate utilization under these conditions. These results suggest that the operation of the glyoxylate shunt may play a significant role in the utilization of exogenous acetate by fadR mutants.
