Abstract
SUMMARY: A carcinogenic substance, o-aminoazotoluene (AAT), inhibited the incorporation of [1-14C]glycine and [1-14C]leucine into the lipid fraction of Mycobacterium smegmatis. It inhibited transiently the incorporation of [1-14C]glutamic acid into lipids, but it did not inhibit the incorporation of [1-14C]acetate into lipids. AAT did not inhibit the incorporation into the protein and nucleic acid fractions of [1-14C]glycine, [1-14C]leucine, [1-14C]glutamic acid, and [1-14C]acetate.
