RESUMO

Twelve tryptophan auxotrophs of Rhizobium leguminosarum were characterized biochemically. They were grown in complex and minimal media with several carbon sources, in both limiting and excess tryptophan. Missing enzyme activities allowed assignment of all mutant to the trpE, trpD, trpB, or trpA gene, confirming earlier results with the same mutants (Johnston et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 165:323-330, 1978). In regulatory experiments, only the first enzyme of the pathway, anthranilate synthase, responded (about 15-fold) to tryptophan excess or limitation.
