Abstract
Ferredoxin (flavodoxin) NADP(+) oxidoreductase participates in methion ine biosynthesis and in the function of two anaerobic enzymes, pyruvat e formate-lyase and ribonucleotide reductase. We prepared insertion mu tants of Escherichia coli lacking a functional enzyme. They do not req uire methionine and they grow well anaerobically, but they show increa sed sensitivity to paraquat.
