Molecular Basis of Growth Inhibition by Acetate of an Adenylate Cyclase-Deficient Mutant of .

In , cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) serves as an effector of the global transcriptional regulator GlxR. Synthesis of cAMP is catalyzed by the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase CyaB. In this study, we investigated the consequences of decreased intracellular cAMP levels in a Δ mutant.
