New Strains of Arthrobacter and Micrococcus Producing Lysine from Hydrocarbon

摘要

Following the bioautographic te-chnique, 24 lysine producing microor-ganisms have been isolated from amongthe 263 hydrocarbon utilisers. Morphological, cultural and biochemicalcharacters of two promising isolates,have been studied. One of them iden-tified as Arthrobacter globiformis andthe other as Micrococcus varians, pro-duce 3.4 and 2.6 g lysine per litreof medium.
