Roles of arginine in growth of Clostridium botulinum Okra B.

abstract：:L-threonine can be made by the amino acid-producing bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. However, in the course of this process, some of the L-threonine is degraded to glycine. We detected an aldole cleavage activity of L-threonine in crude extracts with an activity of 2.2 nmol min(-1) (mg of protein)(-1). In order t...
