O-acetylhomoserine as an intermediate in methionine bioxynthesis in Arthrobacter paraffineus, Corynebacterium glutanicum and Bacillus species.

Hiroshi Kase, Kiyoshi Nakayama

Abstract

Certain methionine auxotrophs of Arthrobacter paraffineus and Bacillus species produce large amounts of O-acetylhomoserine (OAH).The methionine requirement of these auxo trophs could be satisfied by either cystathionine or homocysteine but not by homoserine.
