Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A mutant strain of Escherichia coli K 12 is described, which exhibits thermosensitive regulation of D-serine deaminase synthesis. The mutant is distinct in its physiological properties from i TL and i TSS mutants of the lac systems, although it has elements of similarity with both. A model is presented to explain its properties.
