Abstract
The effect of cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) on production of the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) by whole bacterial cells was studied in strainsEscherichia coli CSH-2/R222 and WZ-78/R222 (cya855). CAT synthesis in strainE. coli WZ-78/R222 was shown to have an intensity only half as great as that of strainE. coli CSH-2/R222. The production of CAT by strainE. coli CSH-2/R222 was increased only very slightly by cAMP, but its effect on the production of this enzyme in strain WZ-78/R222 was appreciable.
