Spontaneous mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 were selected for the ability to accumulate exogenous 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO). Bacteria containing a gene (kdsA) which codes for a temperature-sensitive KDO-8-phosphate synthetase were plated at the restrictive temperature of 42 degrees C on medium containing 5 mM KDO. Since bacteria containing the kdsA lesion are unable to grow at 42 degrees C due to inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis and accumulation of lipid A precursor, this method allowed direct, positive selection of mutants capable of utilizing exogenous KDO for LPS synthesis. Spontaneous mutants, selected at a frequency of about 10(-6), required exogenous KDO for growth at 42 degrees C. The growth rate at 42 degrees C was nearly normal in the presence of 20 mM KDO and was directly proportional to KDO concentrations below 20 mM. Exogenous KDO also suppressed accumulation of lipid A precursor. The apparent Km for KDO accumulation was 23 mM, and the maximum rate of transport was calculated to be 505 pmol of KDO per min per 10(8) cells. Bacteria incorporated exogenous [3H]KDO exclusively into LPS, with less than 10% dilution in specific activity due to residual endogenous KDO synthesis. The mutation giving rise to the ability to accumulate exogenous KDO was extremely useful in the direct screening for new mutations in the kdsA gene after localized mutagenesis. Five mutations in kdsA were isolated, four of which were new alleles as determined by on fine-structure analysis. The ability to introduce labeled (3H, 13C, and 14C) KDO in vivo should simplify and extend the analysis of this critical metabolic pathway in gram-negative bacteria.
