Orotic acid excretion in some wild-type strains of Escherichia coli K-12.

RESUMO
During rapid growth, the excretion of pyrimidines, predominantly uracil, is a common phenomenon in procaryotes and eucaryotes. In Escherichia coli, some K-12 strains excrete orotic acid and not uracil. This is caused by a mutation in the pyrF gene.
