Stimulation of Proteinase Biosynthesis by Canavanine in Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens1

RESUMO
l-Canavanine, an analogue of arginine, was found to stimulate the synthesis of an extracellular proteinase in Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens. Cells grown in a synthetic medium containing 10-4m arginine and 10-4m canavanine produced almost twice as much proteinase as cells grown in 2 × 10-3m arginine alone; total growth was the same in both media. Hydrolyzed proteinase samples were analyzed for arginine and canavanine by means of paper chromatography and electrophoresis. Arginine, but not canavanine, was detected in the purified enzyme sample.
