Cyclic AMP is not detectable in Clostridium perfringens
Canadian Journal of Microbiology
|September 1, 1983
Abstract:
Cyclic AMP was not detected (less than 5 X 10(-9) M intracellular concentration) at any stage of growth or sporulation of two strains of Clostridium perfringens grown with or without methylxanthines. Only Bacillus and Lactobacillus, genera belonging to the same phylogenetic cluster, have previously exhibited undetectable levels of cyclic AMP.
