Biochemical Investigations of a Marine Bacterium and Its Viruses.
Abstract
The biochemistry of a marine bacterium and its viruses has been investigated. Five bacteriophages infecting Serratia marinorubra have been isolated. These possess a unique species of DNA. The pyrimidine pathway and the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway is described. The purification and characterization of one of the enzymes of the tryptophan pathway have been described. Work on plant tissue culture is also included in the report. The first enzyme of the pathway, anthranilate synthetase is inhibited both in vitro and in vivo by 1-tryptophan.
