Glutamate Functions in Osmoregulation in a Marine Bacterium

J C Makemson 1,, J W Hastings 1
PMCID: PMC243457  PMID: 16345412

Abstract

Beneckea harveyi, growing in either minimal or complex media increased the total amino acid pool with increasing salinity of the medium. Glutamate was the predominate amino acid involved.
