title: Pleiotropic phenotype of an Escherichia coli mutant lacking leucyl-, phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid-protein transferase.
abstract: A mutant of Escherichia coli that lacks leucyl-, phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid-protein transferase had diminished activities of L-phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase and tryptophanase, grew faster than its parent with aspartic acid as the sole nitrogen source, accumulated higher levels of enterochelin in the medium during iron limitation, and exhibited an abnormal morphology.
