Inhibitions by certain amino-acids were found, and each inhibition could be prevented by the simultaneous presence of one or more other amino-acids. It was not possible to correlate these inhibitions with any other biochemical property of the strains. There was, however, a remarkably high proportion of serine-inhibited strains amongst those which had been isolated from cases of infantile gastro-enteritis., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-9-1-37
