Effect of Amino-Acid Esters on the Growth of Fibroblast Cultures

Abstract

PERRI et al. 1 demonstrated that amino-acid esters inhibit the growth of bacteria. Simultaneously with this finding, Horváth et al. described the inhibition of certain amino-acid esters on the adaptive amylase production of Penicillium chrysogenum 1.
