RESUMO
Bacillus subtilis ccpA mutant strains exhibit two distinct phenotypes: they are defective in catabolite repression, and their growth on minimal media is strongly impaired. This growth defect is largely due to a lack of expression of the gltAB operon. However, growth is impaired even in the presence of glutamate. Here, we demonstrate that the ccpA mutant strain needs methionine and the branched-chain amino acids for optimal growth. The control of expression of the ilv-leu operon by CcpA provides a novel regulatory link between carbon and amino acid metabolism.
