Abstract
Uptake and autoradiography experiments with natural populations of marine bacteria, seawater cultures, and cultured isolates showed that the high-affinity cyclic AMP transport system in marine bacteria has stringent structural requirements, is found in a minority of cells in mixed bacterial assemblages, and appears to be related to the culture growth state.
