Abstract
Additional evidence is given that in Streptomyces strains R39, R61, and K11 the same enzyme performs dd-carboxypeptidase and transpeptidase activities and that this enzyme is the killing site of beta-lactam antibiotics. With strain R61, it was found that the exocellular enzyme has a sensitivity towards some antibiotics different from that of the membrane-bound enzyme. Under the growth conditions used in the present investigations, beta-lactamase activity was not involved in susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics.Entities:
