Phenotypes of a mutant

• a ''[gene|472E3A2407C83EEE26DB00079D185C4EA2988611|mgtE] [gene|D281B88EC444F8175AB50FB2CD24B51F4E2C96F8|yfjQ]'' mutant does not grow on rich media, this can be suppressed by the addition of 25 mM Mg²⁺, moreover the mutant grows well on minimal medium in the presence of citrate (due to the activity of [protein|C0DED68802EF78D2BC16507234AAC3B60D236E68|CitM]) [Pubmed|24415722]
