Autolysis of microbial cells: salt activation of autolytic enzymes in a mutant of Staphylococcus aureus.

abstract：:Escherichia coli K-12 strain CU1008 cannot use L-serine as the sole carbon source, but it could use L-serine as an auxiliary carbon source with glucose, L-alanine, or pyruvate and could derive energy from L-serine to support oxygen uptake. CU1008 grew with L-serine if it was also provided with glycine and leucine. The...
