[The nature of typhimuricin--a substance produced by Salmonella typhimurium LT2 and relation of its synthesis to the cryptic plasmid].
The effect of typhimuricin on Escherichia coli K12 cells and the properties of this substance produced by Salmonella typhimurium LT2 have been studied. The obtained data permit one to conclude that typhimuricin is similar to the aminoacid L-valine or the chemical very similar to it in properties. The synthesis of typhimuricin is not controlled by the cryptic plasmid present in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 cells. The experiments aimed at isolation of enterobacterial strains producing low molecular mass antibiotics--microcines have been done. It was found that the capability to produce macrocines is not widespread among the isolates of enterobacteria.
