Genetic and physiological analysis of glutamate decarboxylase in Escherichia coli K-12.
No correlation was found between glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity and the ability of Escherichia coli K-12 strains to grow on glutamate. A gene, gad, determining GAD activity maps near gltC, which controls glutamate permease.
