[Amino acid makeup characteristics of bacteria utilizing nonnatural compounds]. 1978

R P Naumova, and I M Giniatullin, and N G Zakharova, and N A Shishkova

A peculiarity of the amino acid pool has been discovered for the first time in bacteria utilizing such synthetic compounds as gamma butyrolactam, epsilon-caprolactam and zeta-aminoenanthic acid. The main components of the amino acid pool are omega-aminoacids (including synthetic ones) as well as glutamic acid. The total amino acid content increases upon utilization of the compounds being tested three times (Pseudomonas fluorescens), five times (Pseudomonas dacunchae) and seven times (Pseudomonas perolens) as compared to the control variants. These data suggest that hydrolysis and transamination of synthetic omega-amino acids play an important role in the constructive and energy metabolism of the bacteria under study.
