Summary
Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO deficient in their utilization of DL-valine have been found to have lost their capacity to utilize DL-alanine and L-proline. Use of conjugal and transductional mediated gene transfers have established the chromosomal location of this gene and also its pleotropic function in the induction of the D-amino acid oxidase, involved in the oxidative utilization of DL-valine, DL-alanine and L-proline. These point mutations are clustered in a single locus designated as Val D and mapped around the 19th minute on the chromosome.
