Comparison of methods for specific depletion of ATP in Salmonella typhimurium

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Three methods of ATP depletion in Salmonella typhimurium were compared. ATP concentrations were lowest after arsenate treatment. Arsenate or α- methylglucoside-plus-azide treatment nonspecifically lowered all nucleotide triphosphate levels. Histidine starvation in a hisF mutant was relatively specific for ATP depletion and therefore has potential in distinguishing ATP- dependent processes from processes dependent on other nucleotides.
