Abstract

The use of glycine as nitrogen source by Escherichia coli K12 involves L-serine as obligatory intermediate. The pathway includes glycine cleavage enzymes, serine transhydroxymethylase and probably L-serine deaminase. This conversion of glycine to serine occurs in prototrophic strains only when glycine is used as nitrogen source. The growth rate with glycine as sole nitrogen source is slow; apparent doubling time 360 min.
