SUMMARY: A mutant, dai, has been isolated from the Escherichia colik12, strain k2.1 t, as a colony resistant to 2-deoxyglucose (DG) when growing on fructose but still sensitive to DG when growing on other sugars. The mutation in dai specifically affects the catabolite inhibition of fructose utilization by glucose and glucose-6-phosphate; the affected gene (designated cif) is located at min 41 on the E. coli linkage map and is highly co-transducible with the genes that specify the uptake of fructose (ptsF) and enzvmic conversion of fructose-1-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (fpk).
