Notes:
A decoyinine resistant, KY 13501, isolated after nitrosoguanidine treatment from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872 converted 5′XMP added in fermentation media to guanine derivatives and accumulated them in the media. The converted substances were identified as guanine, 5′GMP, 5′GDP, and 5′GTP. The conditions for the conversion were examined and the following points were clarified. (1) Very low concentration of manganese ion (Mn2+) showed profound effects on the conversion and the excessive amounts of the ion severely repressed the conversion. (2) Under limitation of Mn2+, 5′XMP was converted most efficiently when added at inoculation time. (3) The inhibition of the conversion by excessive amount of Mn2+ was completely released by addition of a surface activating agent, polyoxyethylene stearylamine. (4) For the conversion, it was essential to maintain pH of the media at 7.5 to 8.0 and supply ammonium ion.
