Abstract
IN a previous communication1 we have reported that two strains (KT 83 and KT 82) of soil bacteria were able to utilize benzoyl-D-phenylalanine as well as benzoyl-L-phenylalanine as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen, whereas one strain (KT 84) could utilize the L-form but not the D-form, and that benzoyl-D-phenylalanine was hydrolysed by a suspension of either KT 83 or KT 82, but not by KT 84.
