Abstract:
The effect of treatment with inducing agents, such as mitomycin C, hydrogen peroxide and UV irradiation on the production of two inhibitors by different mutants from Enterococcus faecalis S-48 was studied. With hydrogen peroxide and UV light no increase in either the absolute or the relative amount of antagonistic substances was observed. With mitomycin C, a significant increase in the individual cell capacity for inhibitor production was detected.
