“…The optimum D-Val concentration for growth was 5–6 mM. Adverse effects of high concentrations of DAAs have been reported previously in a variety of bacteria (Teeri and Josselyn, 1953 ; Bopp, 1965 ; Champney and Jensen, 1970 ; Cosloy and McFall, 1973 ; Yabu and Huempfner, 1974 ; White, 1979 ). The growth of strain A04V was also completely inhibited in the presence of >10 mM D-Val.…”

Microorganisms that utilize various D-amino acids (DAAs) were successfully isolated from deep-sea sediments. The isolates were phylogenetically assigned to Alphaproteobacteria, Gammmaproteobacteria, and Bacilli. Some of the isolates exhibited high enantioselective degradation activities to various DAAs. In particular, the Alphaproteobacteria Nautella sp. strain A04V exhibited robust growth in minimal medium supplemented with D-Val as a sole carbon and nitrogen source, whereas its growth was poor on minimal medium supplemented with L-Val instead of D-Val. Its growth was facilitated most when racemic mixtures of valine were used. In contrast, the Nautella strains isolated from shallow-sea grew only with L-Val. No significant differences were found among the strains in the genome sequences including genes possibly related to DAA metabolisms.

“…bovis group (Bartley & Slanetz, 1960). The inhibitory role of certain amino acids for certain lactobacilli has been shown by Teeri & Josselyn (1953), and acridine orange has been employed by Beers, Hendley & Steiner (1958) in a study of the metabolism of polynucleotides by Escherichia. The TTC included in the AGAT medium as an indicator of reduction inhibits the development of members of the genus Corynebacterium and also partially inhibits Strep.…”

“…7830). Since the primary concern was to learn whether D-amino acids can inhibit growth in a complete medium, and not whether any particular Dor L-amino acid is an essential nutrient, the complete media previously described (Teeri and Josselyn, 1953) were used. Growth was determined by photoelectric turbidity measurements after sixteen to eighteen hours' incubation at 35 C.…”
