Biological Activity
DL-Glutamic acid (0.01 M; until middle lag phase) inhibits cell division but not elongation of Rhodospirillum rubrum during initial growth, while concentrations below 0.0025 M do not induce this effect, and cells regain normal morphology after a lag phase[1].
DL-Glutamic acid (0.012 M; up to 300 h) reduces cellular ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels in growing Rhodospirillum rubrum, with RNA affected more severely than DNA, and nucleic acid synthesis ceases before dry weight growth stops[1].
