title: Amino Acid Degradation by a Lactobacillus plantarum Strain from Fish.
abstract: Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from fish is unable to degrade any other amino acid than tyrosine and arginine, the former being converted to tyramine, the latter to ornithine and ammonia in an energy yielding reaction. A low level of glucose seems necessary for arginine decomposition which is, however, repressed at higher glucose levels.
