Abstract
The Staphylococcus aureus pckA gene was identified and characterized.
A pckA mutant lacked detectable phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase acti
vity and grew poorly in the absence of glucose. Both enzymatic activit
y and pckA promoter activity in wild-type cells grown in the absence o
f glucose were at least 22-fold greater than activities in cells grown
in the presence of glucose.
