Catabolite repression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa amidase: the effect of carbon source on amidase synthesis.
Synthesis of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa aliphatic amidase was repressed severely by succinate and malate and less severely by glucose, acetate or lactate. Amidase synthesis in inducible and constitutive strains was stimulated by cyclic AMP, which also gave partial relief to catabolite repression produced by the addition of lactate to cultures growing in pyruvate medium. Mutants which were resistant to catabolite repression were isolated from succinate+lactamide medium.
