The inhibition of serine metabolism in Leuconostoc mesenteroides P-60. I. Microbiological activity of d- and l-penicillamine

Microbial Nutrition

“…Aposhian et al (197) studied the inhibit ory effect of penicillamine on acid production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides P-60. The reversal of inhibi tion by serine led the authors to conclude that penicillamine was competing with serine or a closely related metabolic product.…”
