Abstract
During a study on the effect of DL-serine hydroxamate on Corynebacterium glutamicum (JCM1318, a wild strain), a mutant resistant to the drug, strain TO3002, was isolated. This mutant accumulated five Ehrlich's reagent positive fluorescent substances in the culture medium. Two major and one minor fluorescent products were isolated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography following charcoal column chromatography from the culture supernatant. One major product was identified as anthranilic acid whose molecular ion was confirmed to be 137 by a measurement of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and NMR spectrum coincided with that of anthranilic acid. LC-MS spectra of another major and the minor product showed that they had the same molecular weight of 299. This major product was supported to be N-glucosylanthranilic acid (N-o-carboxyphenyl-1-beta-glucosylamine) by two-dimensional (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses. The minor product was speculated to be an Amadori compound derived from N-glucosylanthranilic acid. N-Glucosylanthranilic acid accumulated in the early phase, then decreased in the late phase of the culture. In contrast, the accumulation of anthranilic acid increased remarkably in the late phase of the fermentation. Based on this phenomenon, it was assumed that N-glucosylanthranilic acid once accumulated was decomposed to form anthranilic acid, at least in large part, with the progress of fermentation. The strain TO3002 showed a leaky requirement for L-tryptophan or indole (but did not for anthranilic acid) and resistance to DL-serine hydroxamate.

Abstract
Phase shifts of the circadian rhythm of K(+) uptake by Lemna gibba G3, caused by pulse administration of various amino acids analogs, were examined and compared. The various phase shifts were not due to any disturbance in the biosynthesis of amino acids, since the effective time of day and direction of the phase shift caused by analogs were not correlated with the standard amino acid which was modified. Effective analogs could be classified into three groups. The first group was effective during the middle subjective day and caused both advances and delays in phase. The second group was effective early in the subjective night, causing large delays and small phase advance. Analogs in the third group shifted the phase as did cycloheximide and were effective at the subjective dawn. Since the analogs of the third group were known to inhibit protein synthesis, it is likely that they shift the phase by lowering the level of some protein(s) important for the clock. By contrast, since the analogs in groups 1 and 2 are known to generate abnormal proteins, the different phase-shifting patterns caused by analogs in groups 1 and 2 suggest that at least two other proteins are important for the circadian timing loop. The amino acid analogs shift the phase as a result of their incorporation into these proteins instead of the standard amino acid. This probably alters the structure and/or activities of these proteins.

Abstract
To construct a threonine-hyperproducing strain of Serratia marcescens Sr41, the six regulatory mutations for three aspartokinases and two homoserine dehydrogenases were combined in a single strain by three transductional crosses. The constructed strain, T-1026, carried the lysC1 mutation leading to lack of feedback inhibition and repression of aspartokinase III, the thrA1(1) mutation desensitizing aspartokinase I to feedback inhibition, the thrA2(1) mutation releasing feedback inhibition of homoserine dehydrogenase I, the two hnr mutations derepressing aspartokinase I and homoserine dehydrogenase I, and the etr-1 mutation derepressing aspartokinase II and homoserine dehydrogenase II. The strain produced ca. 40 mg of threonine per ml of medium containing sucrose and urea. Furthermore, the productivity of strain T-1026 was compared with those of strains devoid of more than one of the six regulatory mutations.

Abstract
An in vitro coupled transcription-translation system was used to synthesize transaminase B and beta-galactosidase in the presence of a deoxyribonucleic acid template containing lac deoxyribonucleic acid under normal lac-specific control and in the presence of several deoxyribonucleic acid templates containing lac deoxyribonucleic acid fused to the ilvD gene. Time course experiments revealed that transcription of the lacZ gene from the fusion template required a longer time than did that initiated at the lac promoter. With a phage template containing an intact ilvE gene but lacking the normal ilv-specific promoter, synthesis of ilvE message was completed before synthesis of lacZ message. A phage template that contained the normal ilv-specific promoter but from which part of ilvE had been deleted also allowed formation of beta-galactosidase. Three plasmids containing the ilv-lac fusion were also used as templates. Two plasmids that contained both an intact ilvE gene and the normal ilv-specific promoter required longer times for lacZ transcription but were more efficient templates than was a plasmid in which the ilv-lac fusion, the ilvE gene, and the contiguous non-specific ilvE promoter were inverted with respect to the normal ilv-specific promoter. beta-Galactosidase synthesis was stimulated by guanosine 3'-pyrophosphate-5'-pyrophosphate with all templates tested except that in which the ilv-lac fusion had been inverted. Presumptive evidence was obtained for the generation of a limiting isoleucine signal by incorporating inhibitors of isoleucyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase into the coupled transcription-translation system.

Abstract
A threonine-producing strain of Serratia marcescens Sr41 was constructed according to the following process. Thr- strain E-60 was derived from strain HNr59 having constitutive levels of threonine-sensitive aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase. Thr+ transductant T-570 was constructed from strain E-60 and phage grown on strain HNr21 having feedback-resistant threonine-sensitive aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase. This transductant lacked both feedback inhibition and repression for the two enzymes. Thr- strain N-11 was derived from strain AECr174 lacking feedback inhibition and repression of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase. Subsequently, the threonine region of strain T-570 was transduced into strain N-11. One of the THR+ transductants, strain T-693, produced markedly high levels of the two aspartokinases and homoserine dehydrogenase, which were insensitive to feedback inhibition. This strain produced about 25 mg of threonine per ml in the medium containing sucrose and urea.

Abstract
S-2-Aminoethyl cysteine (AEC) reduced both growth rate and final growth level of Serratia marcescens Sr41. The growth inhibition was completely reversed by lysine. AEC inhibited the activity of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase to a lesser extent than lysine. The AEC addition to the medium lowered not only the level of lysine-sensite aspartokinase but also those of homoserine dehydrogenase and threonine deaminase, whereas lysine repressed the aspartokinase alone. To select mutations releasing lysine-sensitive aspartokinase from feedback controls, AEC-resistant colonies were isolated from strains HNr31 and HNr53, both of which were previously found to excrete threonine on the minimal plates but not on the plates containing excess lysine. Two of 280 resistant colonies excreted large amounts of threonine. Strains AECr174 and AECr301, derived from strains HNr31 and HNr53, respectively, lacked both feedback inhibition and repression of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase. These strains produced about 7 mg of threonine per ml in the medium containing glucose and urea.

Abstract
The wild strain of Serratia marcescens rapidly degraded threonine and formed aminoacetone in a medium containing glucose and urea. Extracts of this strain showed high threonine dehydrogenase and "biosynthetic" threonine deaminase activities, but no threonine aldolase activity. Threonine dehydrogenase-deficient strain Mu-910 was selected among mutants unable to grow on threonine as the carbon source. This strain did not form aminoacetone from threonine, but it slowly degraded threonine. Strain D-60, deficient in both threonine dehydrogenase and threonine deaminase, was derived from strain Mu-910 and barely degraded threonine. A glycine-requiring strain derived from the wild strain grew in minimal medium containing threonine as the glycine source, whereas a glycine-requiring strain derived from strain Mu-910 did not grow. This indicates that threonine dehydrogenase participates in glycine formation from threonine (via alpha-amino-beta-ketobutyrate) as well as in threonine degradation to aminoacetone.

Abstract
beta-Hydroxynorvaline (alpha-amino-beta-hydroxyvaleric acid)-resistant mutants of Serratia marcescens deficient in both threonine dehydrogenase and threonine deaminase were isolated and characterized. One of the mutants, strain HNr21, lacked feedback inhibition of threonine-sensitive aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase, was repressed for the two enzymes, and produced 11 mg of threonine per ml of medium containing a limiting amount of isoleucine. The other mutant, strain HNr59, was constitutively derepressed for aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase. Its kinase was sensitive to feedback inhibition, but its dehydrogenase was insensitive to feedback inhibition. This strain produced 5 mg of threonine per ml of medium containing either a limiting or an excess amount of isoleucine. Diaminopimelate auxotrophs derived from strain HNr59 produced more threonine (13 mg/ml) than the parent strain. However, similar auxotrophs derived from strain HNr21 produced the same amount of threonine as that produced by the parent strain.

Abstract
Growth inhibition by isoleucine hydroxamate in Serratia marcescens was significantly enhanced by adding valine plus leucine and by using glycerol as the carbon source. Isoleucine hydroxamate-resistant mutants were isolated under conditions in which growth inhibition was enhanced. One of the mutants, strain GIHVLr2179, lacked both feedback inhibition and repression of threonine deaminase. An alpha-aminobutyric acid-resistant mutant derived from strain GIHVLr2179, strain GIHVLAr2795, produced 12 mg of isoleucine per ml in the medium containing glucose and urea as carbon and nitrogen sources (a twofold increase over prior reports). This strain had increased activities of threonine deaminase, acetohydroxy acid synthase, aspartokinase, and homoserine dehydrogenase.

Abstract
l-Arginine hydroxamate inhibited the growth of various bacteria, and the inhibition was readily reversed by arginine. l-Arginine hydroxamate (10(-3)m) completely inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis. This inhibitory effect was prevented by 2.5 x 10(-4)ml-arginine, which was the most effective of all the natural amino acids in reversing the inhibition. l-Arginine hydroxamate-resistant mutants of Bacillus subtilis were isolated and found to excrete l-arginine in relatively high yields. One of the mutants, strain AHr-5, produced 4.5 mg of l-arginine per ml in shaken culture in 3 days.

Abstract
The regulation of the formation of isoleucine-valine biosynthetic enzymes was examined to elucidate the mechanism of isoleucine-valine accumulation by alpha-aminobutyric acid-resistant (abu-r) mutants of Serratia marcescens. In the isoleucine-valine auxotroph, l-threonine dehydratase, acetohydroxy acid synthetase, and transaminase B were repressed when isoleucine, valine, and leucine were simultaneously added to minimal medium. These enzymes were derepressed at the limitation of any single branched-chain amino acid. Pantothenate, which stimulated growth of this auxotroph, had no effect on the enzyme levels. It became evident from these results that in S. marcescens isoleucine-valine biosynthetic enzymes are subject to multivalent repression by three branched-chain amino acids. The abu-r mutants had high enzyme levels in minimal medium, with or without three branched-chain amino acids. Therefore, in abu-r mutants, isoleucine-valine biosynthetic enzymes are genetically derepressed. This derepression was considered to be the primary cause for valine accumulation and increased isoleucine accumulation.
