Abstract
High concentrations of glycine induce accumulation of four uridine nucleotides in S. aureus. Investigations of their structure suggest that these compounds are uridine diphosphate (UDP)-acetylmuramic acid, UDP-acetylmuramyl-gly-D-glu-L-lys, UDP-acetylmuramyl-L-ala-D-glu-L-lys and UDP-acetylmuramyl-gly-D-glu-L-lys-D-ala-D-ala. The mechanism by which glycine may induce uridine nucleotide accumulation and protoplast formation is discussed.Keywords
