Without significant killing,d-serine at concentrations greater than 50 μg/ml inhibits growth in minimal media of mutants ofEscherichia coliK-12 unable to formd-serine deaminase. The mutants eventually recover at lower concentrations. There is no evidence ofd-serine toxicity in rich media. Toxicity is partially reversed byl-serine.d-Serine does not interfere withl-serine activation, one-carbon metabolism, or (Cronan, personal communication) formation of phosphatidylserine. Pizer (personal communication) finds, however, that it is a powerful feedback inhibitor of the first enzyme ofl-serine biosynthesis. In the presence ofl-serine, the residual toxicity is largely and noncompetitively over come by pantothenate, indicating thatd-serine inhibits growth by affecting two targets: pantothenate biosynthesis andl-serine biosynthesis.l-Serine causes transient growth inhibition inE. coliK-12. Contaminatingl-serine ind-serine preparations contributes to thed-serine inhibitory response.
