Abstract
Arginine catabolism byStreptococcus sanguis NCTC 10904 was found to involve the arginine deiminase system. Enzyme assays indicated that the system was coordinately repressed by glucose and sucrose. Arginine transport also was repressed but not completely. A barotolerant variant of the organism was found to have a regulatory system defective for glucose repression so that ammonia was produced from arginine in cultures of the variant at atmospheric pressure even when the bacteria were producing acid glycolytically.
