Abstract:Inosine-producing cultures were found among mutants resistant to 6-mercaptoguanine (6MG) derived from a 5′-inosinic acid (IMP)-producing strain, KY 13102, of
Brevibacterium ammoniagenes.
Inosine-producing ability was very frequent among the mutants resistant to a low concentration (10 to 50 μg/ml) of 6MG. The accumulation of inosine by strain KY 13714 was stimulated by a low concentration of adenine (25 mg/liter) but was depressed by high levels of adenine. The accumulation by strain KY… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
