THE EFFECT OF DIHYDROSTREPTOMYCIN ON THE FORMATION OF ADAPTIVE ENZYMES BY A STRAIN OF ESCHERICHIA COLI

Abstract
The adaptive formation of enzymes for the oxidation of L-arabinose, lactose, and D-glucuronic acid was inhibited by dihydrostreptomycin in a strain of Escherichia coli which would not grow in the presence of this antibiotic. Adaptive enzyme formation was not inhibited in E. coli variants which would grow in the presence of dihydrostreptomycin or which required the antibiotic for growth.
