Interrelationships between Amino -acids in the Growth of Coliform Organisms Free

Abstract

Summary: Three hundred and fifty-six strains of , which were capable of growing on a simple salt medium containing ammonia as sole nitrogen source and glucose, were tested for inhibition of growth by added amino-acids. 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.
