Nutritional factors controlling exocellular protease production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

S E Jensen, I T Fecycz, J N Campbell
PMCID: PMC294740  PMID: 6776099

Abstract

A defined medium capable of supporting growth and exocellular protease production by clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been developed. Control of protease production is effected by a mixture of three amino acids and glucose.
