Phenotypes of a mutant
Loss of carbon catabolite repression. Loss of [protein|14ED1AF5038F43F3B151FCBABE6CFC5A2DA3AA6E|PtsI]-dependent sugar transport due to excessive phosphorylation of [protein|29B793660E4D30C0656248F3EF403FEF76FB9025|HPr]]] by [protein|771F205F818A755A661B8E1C95365A4F6AEB05C7|HprK].The mutant is unable to grow on a minimal medium with glucose and ammonium as the only sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively.The protein
