Abstract
The inhibition of growth of Lactobacillus arabinosus and Proteus vulgaris by hydroxylamine was studied. The effect of minimal inhibiting doses of the amine can be reversed by ammonia or glutamine and to a lesser extent by asparagine in L. arabinosus and by asparagine, ammonia, and glutamine in Proteus vulgaris. It is suggested that hydroxylamine in low concentration interferes with the utilization of glutamine, asparagine, and ammonia; in high concentrations it probably blocks other metabolic pathways as well.
