hisD deletion makes growth depend on supplied histidine

The BW25113-derived hisD deletion strain JW2002 was used as a histidine auxotroph. In the study, its growth readout increased with supplied histidine.

Study strain: BW25113-derived JW2002 with an introduced EGFP reporter

Conditions: Minimal-medium biosensor assay. An introduced EGFP reporter was used alongside turbidity; fluorescence was not a native hisD product.

Histidine biosynthesis

HisD catalyzes the last two steps of histidine biosynthesis.

Study strain: K-12 MG1655

Conditions: Histidine supplied by medium can mask a biosynthetic defect.

NCBI Gene: hisD (b2020)
