Cysteine Metabolism in Legionella pneumophila: Characterization of an l-Cystine-Utilizing Mutant

Growth of Legionella pneumophila on buffered charcoal-yeast extract (BCYE) medium is dependent on l-cysteine (but not l-cystine), which is added in excess over what is required for nutrition. We investigated the biochemical and genetic bases for this unusual requirement and determined that much of t...
