Article Description

Extracellular formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) by adding levulinic acid (LA), an inhibitor of ALA dehydratase, was examined in the anaerobic-light culture of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The addition of LA (10–25 mmol/ l ) during the middle log phase retarded the growth and accelerated the extracellular formation of ALA, while over 50 mmol/ l completely suppressed both growth and formation.
