A 3,5-diaminohexanoate-decomposing Brevibacterium.
An obligately aerobic bacterium that grows on dl-erythro-3, 5-diaminohexanoate as a sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source was isolated by the enrichment culture method. The organism utilizes only the l isomer by means of an inducible enzyme system. The organism has been tentatively identified as a member of the genus Brevibacterium.
