Biodegradative <scp>l</scp> -Threonine Deaminase of <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i>

Abstract

The threonine deaminase formed under anaerobic conditions by Salmonella typhimurium is induced by l-serine and l-threonine, is catabolite repressible, requires cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate for its synthesis and adenylic acid for optimal activity, and is immunologically different from biosynthetic threonine deaminase.
