| Popis: | A cell wall bound autolytic enzyme of a streptomycin-producing strain of Streptomyces griseus was investigated. The peptidoglycan fragments released by the enzyme showed antibiotic activity. Analysis of these fragments proved that streptomycin is bound to a cell wall peptide. The peptide contained the four amino acids characteristic of Streptomyces cell wall: alanine, glycine, diaminopimelic acid, and glutamine or glutamic acid. |
