Cellular Permeability and Extracellular Formation of Glutamic Acid in Brevibacterium flavum

抄録

1. Effect of biotin, oleic acid, Tween 60, and penicillin added to the growing culture on the glutamate formation in the culture, as well as on the ability of glutamate forma-tion, transaminase activity, and cellular per-meability of amino acids in the washed cells was studied in one of glutamate-producing bacteria, Brevibacterium flavum.
2. The cells that were permeable to glutamate were shown to form and accumulate glutamate form glucose in the external me-dium.
