Total enzyme activities are expressed as units (nmol of product permin) per 150 ml of culture. Prephenate dehydratase activity assayed in the absence of L-phenylalanine. §Prephenate dehydratase activity assayed in the presence of 1 mM L-phenylalanine. Calculated as 'Total PDT' minus '*PheC'. DT,dehydratase; PDT, prephenate dehydratase; *PheC, cyclohexadienyl dehydratase; PheA, prephenate dehydratase domain of AroQPheA; AroQ, chorismate mutase domain of aroQPheA; *AroQ, periplasmic chorismate mutase; AAT, aromatic aminotransferase; SDH, shikimate dehydrogenase.
