Cyclic-AMP content in Escherichia coli B/b as affected by N1-(delta 2-isopentyl)adenine.
N6-(delta 2-isopentenyl)adenine, like other cytokinins, does not detectably modify Escherichia coli growth, but strongly affects cellular levels of cAMP. A substantial delay of the highest level of intracellular cAMP, a reduction to about one half of such maximum level, and a slight increase of cAMP secreted into the medium are reported.
