Summary

 

    Nine strains of Streptococcus bovis were characterized from the point of view of the potentially ability to produce lysine. The specific activities of aspartate kinase and diaminopimelate decarboxylase, lysine and diaminopimelate contents were assayed in extracts of these strains. It was shown that diaminopimelate decarboxylase activity did not correlate with the lysine production
