Résumé

Les auteurs ont trouvé que le glycérol active la biosynthèse de la benzylpénicilline obtenue par des cellules lavées deP. chrysogenum suspendues dans un tampon de phosphate et d'acétate de phényle. Le lactate, le pyruvate, le citrate, le malate et le succinate n'ont été d'aucun effet. Le dinitrophénol, le cyanide et l'arsénite inhibent la biosynthèse de la pénicilline à un degré variable dans le milieu PA plus glycérol, aux concentrations de 0,0006M, 0,005M et 0,0005M respectivement.
