Compounds structurally related to lysine were tested against Penicillium chrysogenum Wis. 54-1255 for inhibition of growth, sporulation, and penicillin formation. This strain is relatively resistant to lysine analogs. The compounds that were the more active inhibitors of growth and whose

Growth assays using mice on synthetic amino acid diets showed that substituting epsilon-N-methyl-L-lysine, epsilon-N-dimethyl-L-lysine and epsilon-N-trimethyl-L-lysine for lysine resulted in relative replacement values about 1/12, 1/20 and 1/25, respectively, of that obtained with the standard lysine diet. Similar studies showed

We have isolated spontaneous mutants of Salmonella typhimurium which can swim in the presence of antifilament antibodies. The molecular masses of flagellins isolated from these mutants were smaller than that (52 kDa) of wild-type flagellin. Two mutants which produced the

Dansyl derivatives of epsilon-N-mono-, epsilon-N-di-, and epsilon-N-trimethyllysine were resolved from other amino acids in proteins by the use of high-performance liquid chromatography. The system was tested with amino acid standard combinations as well as with acid-hydrolyzed proteins known to contain
