Induction of lactose transport in Escherichia coli during the absence of phospholipid synthesis.

ABSTRACT

Induction of lactose transport and of beta-galactosidase synthesis was examined in two Escherichia coli strains that require exogenous glycerol for phospholipid synthesis and growth. No preferential inhibition of lactose transport induction was observed when phospholipid synthesis was restricted to 5 to 10% of the normal rate. We conclude that the lactose transport system does not require concurrent phospholipid synthesis for its functional assembly.
