Growth of an mutant deficient in respiration

Abstract: An Escherichia coli mutant deficient in genes for heme biosynthesis grew in medium of initial pH 8 containing 1% tryptone and glucose under aerobic growth conditions, and its doubling time was approximately 60 min at 37 degrees C. The growth rate was not increased under O2-limiting conditions. When the mutant was grown in medium of initial pH 6, growth stopped at the middle of the exponential growth phase. This could be overcome and the growth yield increased by the addition of 20 mM lysine to the growth mediu… Show more

“…It is likely that Fdh‐H and Hyd‐4 combine to form a second FHL system (FHL‐2) in E. coli that is driven by the proton gradient established by F 0 F 1 ‐ATPase. The physiological purpose of the FHL‐2 pathway is uncertain, but it may be required for the generation of CO 2 during fermentation at high pH (above pH ∼7) [26] for use in the generation of oxalate by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase that in turn could be used for biosynthesis or for the consumption of reducing equivalents and for H 2 ‐dependent fumarate respiration. FHL‐1 and FHL‐2 would appear to have distinct functions during fermentation.…”

“…E. coli is able to grow at a low pH, for instance below 6.0 [14–16], when the cytoplasmic pH is lowered and transport systems might be changed. It has been shown that the rate of K + uptake through TrkA under aerobic conditions is strongly decreased with lowering the external and cytoplasmic pH by a weak acid [17].…”
