Characteristics of Cyclic AMP Transport by Marine Bacteria †

James W Ammerman 1,‡,*, Farooq Azam 1
PMCID: PMC204230  PMID: 16347511

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.
