physiological function | mutants of Escherichia coli blocked in menaquinone biosynthesis, menB, menC, and menD, are unable to grow with DMSO as an electron acceptor, even though the terminal reductase is present in these mutants. Both growth and DMSO reduction can be restored in these mutants by growth in the presence of the menaquinone intermediates, o-succinylbenzoate and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate, depending on the metabolic block of the mutant | Escherichia coli |
