Staphylococcus saprophyticus is able to use d-serine as the sole carbon source. The S. saprophyticus 7108 wild-type strain and the complemented ΔdsdA mutant strain [7108 ΔdsdA(pMB1406)] are able to grow in chemically defined medium supplemented with d-serine (DS) (10 mM) as the sole carbon source. The ΔdsdA mutant was not able to grow. Without any additional supplements, none of the strains could grow. Values are means of at least three experiments and SD.
