Abstract
Two strains of Escherichia coli that lack the epsilon subunit of the F1F0 ATP synthase have been constructed. They are shown to be viable but with very low growth yields (28%). These strains can be complemented by plasmids carrying wild-type uncC, but not when epsilon is overproduced. These results indicate that epsilon is not essential for growth on minimal glucose medium and that the level of its expression affects the assembly of the ATP synthase.Entities:
