Abstract: | Mutants of 168 which exhibited an absolute requirement for glutamine have been isolated and characterized. Of the two mutants studied in detail, one had normal levels of glutamine synthetase and sporulated normally, the other had reduced glutamine synthetase and was asporogenic. Both mutants were mapped close to the A region of the chromosome by PBS1 transduction.A study of spontaneous revertants selected for glutamine prototrophy (or the sporulation character in the case of the asporogenic mutant) led to the conclusion that there is a relationship between the glutamine requirement and sporulation. However, the influence of glutamine could not be entirely explained by the catalytic properties of glutamine synthetase. |
