The Bacterial Phosphoenolpyruvate: Sugar Phosphotransferase System of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium

  • Chapter
Book cover Carbohydrate Metabolism in Cultured Cells

Abstract

Bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium can grow in simple defined media consisting of inorganic salts and any one of a wide variety of carbon sources. But the cells must be able to respond to internal and external variations, including the depletion of nutrients, since they face continuous changes in the external environment and changing internal needs. One of the most challenging problems for a cell is to regulate and integrate its metabolism.
