Abstract
It has previously been studied the formation of deoxyadenosine from adenosine by washed cell suspension of Lactobacillus leichmannii ATCC 7830. In the present paper, the studies on the formation of deoxyinosine from nucleic acid related compounds by bioautography were presented. Inosine, hypoxanthine, hypoxanthine-D-ribose, hypoxanthine-deoxyribose, adenine, adenine-D-ribose, adenine-deoxyribose were effective for the formation of deoxynucleoside-like substances, but a single addition of D-ribose or deoxyribose was almost ineffective.
