They do not grow with acetoin, 2,3-butanediol, fatty acids, isoleucine, lipoic acid, malic acid, pyruvic acid, succinic acid, thiamine, or valine, but respond somewhat to glutamate or citrate. The mutants lack the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; they excrete pyruvate and later acetoin. They grow in nutrient sporulation medium (NSMP) to one-half the normal turbidity and do not sporulate subsequently. When acetate is added to NSMP (at the optimal concentration of 0.07\n            <jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>\n            ), the ACE mutants grow to the normal turbidity and then sporulate normally. Growth but not sporulation is restored in NSMP upon addition of 2,3-butanediol, citrate, glucose, glutamate, glycerol, or ribose, but not upon addition of acetoin, malate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate, and several other compounds. After growth in NSMP has stopped, the mutants incorporate uracil only at a very low rate, which can be increased by the addition of acetate, citrate, or glutamate. Furthermore, the metabolism of acetoin is prevented after growth has stopped but can be restored by the addition of acetate. All these results can be explained by a lack of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) resulting from the deficiency in acetylcoenzyme A. In fact, after growth of the ACE mutants had stopped, the NADH concentration was at the borderline of measurability, whereas it increased significantly upon addition of glucose. The growing standard strain contains, at the same bacterial turbidity, at least 20 times more NADH (230 pmole\/optical density unit at 600 nm) than the nongrowing ACE mutants. The isolated spores, obtained after growth in NSMP plus acetate, can be initiated to germinate in the presence of either\n            <jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>\n            -alanine or the combination of\n            <jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>\n            -asparagine, fructose, glucose, and potassium; addition of acetate is not required and has no effect.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.99.3.745-756.1969","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,5]],"date-time":"2020-01-05T02:20:00Z","timestamp":1578190800000},"page":"745-756","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Growth and Sporulation of\n            <i>Bacillus subtilis<\/i>\n            Mutants Blocked in the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Ernst","family":"Freese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, Public Health Service, Bethesda, Maryland 20014"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uta","family":"Fortnagel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, Public Health Service, Bethesda, Maryland 20014"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"p_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bulcher T.
