Inhibition by glycine of the growth of methylotrophic bacteria : Some resistant mutants

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The action of glycine as an inhibitor to different species of methylotrophic bacteria possesing the serine pathway has been shown. With all the strains, glycine-resistant mutants have been obtained. A comparative study of growth parameters for both the mutant and wild strains has, been made. Better gram negative strains have been isolated but the same cannot be said for the gram positive strains.
