INTRACELLULAR STARCH FORMATION IN CORYNEBACTERIA

Department of Bacteriology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

ABSTRACT

CARRIER, E. BERNARD (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La.) AND C. S. MCCLESKEY. Intracellular starch formation in cor-yne bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 83:1029–1036. 1962.—Cor-ynebacterium tritici, C. striatum, C. renale, and C. pseudodiphtheriticum produce an intracellular starch-like material when grown on native starches; glucose-1-phosphate, mono-, di-, and trisaccharides do not serve as substrates for intracellular starch formation. C. pseudotuberculosis and C. kutscheri produce intracellular starch from starch substrates and glucose-1-phosphate. C. diphtheriae produces starch from glucose-1-phosphate only.
