Folate Reductase and Specific Dihydrofolate Reductase Activities of the Amethopterin-Sensitive Streptococcus faecium var. durans

PMCID: PMC315426  PMID: 5344115

Abstract

Preliminary evidence is presented that indicates that the dihydrofolate reductase activity of amethopterin-sensitive Streptococcus faecium var. durans ATCC 8043 is separable into two dihydrofolate reductases, one of which also reduces folate.
