Abstract
Expression of the Zymomonas mobilis glf (glucose facilitator protein) and glk (glucokinase) genes in Escherichia coli ZSC113 (glucose negati ve) provided a new functional pathway for glucose uptake and phosphory lation. Both genes were essential for the restoration of growth in glu cose minimal medium and for acid production on glucose-Macconkey agar plates.
