Phenotypes of a mutant

• more resistant than wild-type to zinc limitation when grown on rich medium (LB), this is blocked by simultaneous deletion of [gene|29FF54E2B9F4A11811F5E15885A4C02A259C7B35|purB] (reason: accumulation of ZTP that stimulates the binding of [protein|75DB07A2704FEC2932BD0CDD24E2B3454E9551E1|ZagA] to [protein|7732A37D59E2643F232F2C0AFE51BCF7A79EDE29|FolE], and thus folate biosynthesis during zinc limitation) [pubmed|31132310]
