“…Therefore, the stimulation may be of secondary physiological significance other than the primary effect of the end product. Araki et al 26 ) reported that a phenylalanine auxotroph of C. glutamicum KY 10233 which lacks prephenate dehydratase activity produced a large amount of L-Ieucine. Their finding suggests a certain correlation between prephenate dehydratase activity and L-Ieucine biosynthesis in C. glutamicum.…”
