Mode of Action of the Toxin from Pseudomonas phaseolicola: I. Toxin Specificity, Chlorosis, and Ornithine Accumulation 12

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The specificity of the Pseudomonas phaseolicola toxin for enzyme inhibition and its relationship to toxin-induced chlorosis in bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was examined. The toxin showed no significant inhibitory activity against glutamine synthetase, glutamine transferase, carbamyl phosphate synthetase, aspartate carbamoyltransferase, or arginase at concentrations 100-fold higher than that needed to inhibit ornithine carbamoyltransferase by 50%.
