Hydroxyamino acid utilization and alpha-ketobutyrate toxicity in Pseudomonas cepacia.

Abstract

Growth of Pseudomonas cepacia 249 on D-threonine required a mutation to permit D-hydroxyamino acid deaminase formation and L-valine to overcome alpha-ketobutyrate toxicity. Strain 249 lacked a second D-hydroxyamino acid deaminase formed by other strains.
