1 THE AMINO ACID REQUIREMENTS OF STREPTOCOCCUS FAECALIS AND THE USE OF THIS ORGANISM FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THREONINE IN NATURAL PRODUCTS* BY IRENE TATMAN GREENHUT, B. S. SCHWEIGERT, AND C. A. ELVEHJEM (From the Department of Biochemistry, College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, Madison) (Received for publication, August 0, 95) Many workers (l6) have successfully used microbiological methods for the assay of several amino acids in natural materials. Lactobacillus arabinosus has been used as the test organism in many of these studies. Stokes and Gunness (7) have shown that Lactobacillus arabinosus is not satisfactory for the assay of threonine. It was necessary therefore to find another organism which would give a quantitative response to threonine under all conditions. Since Mitchell and Snell (8), Luckey et al. (9), and Teply and Elvehjem (0) have used Xtreptococcusfaecalis, American Type Culture Collection, No. 80 (formerly () referred to as X. lactis R),l for the assay of folic acid and Snell and Guirard () have reported the qualitative amino acid requirements of this organism, the use of X. faecalis for the assay of the threonine content of natural materials was investigated. The amino acid requirements of this organism were studied in detail and suitable techniques were devised for determining the threonine content of various protein materials. EXPERIMENTAL The constituents of the medium used in these studies, other than the amino acids, are identical to those reported by Teply and Elvehjem (0). The amino acid composition of the medium used for the preliminary work was identical to that used in earlier work with Lactobacillus arabinosus (Schweigert et al. ()), with the exception of glycine and serine which were added at 0. and.0 mg. levels per tube, respectively. Snell and Guirard () showed that these amino acids were also required for Streptococcus faecalis. The complete composition of the medium used is given in Table I. The method of preparing the vitamin and the xanthine solutions was Downloaded from by guest on November 7, 08 * Published with the approval of the Director of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. Supported in part by a grant from the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Niven and associates have shown that Streptococcus Zactis R is an enterococcus, specifically Streptococcus faecalis. 69

4 7 THREONINE CONTENT OF NATURAL PRODUCTS confirmabion of the work of Stokes and Gunness () the unnatural isomer (Z(f)threonine) was found to be completely inactive. Standard curves were obtained by using dlthreonine over a range of 0 to 50 y per tube. A typical standard curve is shown in Fig.. Samples of muscle and organ tissues, casein, lactalbumin, soy bean oil meal, and ground corn were analyzed for threonine. In all cases the percentage of total nitrogen was determined in duplicate by the Kjeldahl method. The meat samples were also analyzed for moisture and fat.

Maximum liberation of threonine occurred when a gm. sample was autoclaved with 5 cc. of reagent for to 5 hours.,n autoclaving time of 5 hours was used for all subsequent assays. The stability of threonine to this procedure of hydrolysis was studied by adding dlthreonine to several different samples of animal tissue prior to acid treatment. In

In Table IV are summarized the threonine data expressed as per cent of the sample as analyzed, per cent threonine in the protein (calculated to 6 per cent N), and the per cent threonine N of the total N.
6 7 THREONINE CONTENT OF NdTUR.L PRODUCTS DISCUSSION It is evident from Table II that glutamic acid, asparagine, lysine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, arginine, histidine, serine, tryptophane, cystine, and threonine give standard responses with Streptococcus faecalis. Alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and glycine seem to have only a stimulatory action under the conditions of these experiments. This work suggests that Streptococcus faecalis can also be used for the estimation of methionine and histidine. The qualitative requirements for the amino acids as determined in the present work differ somewhat from those reported by Snell and Guirard (). They reported that no decrease in the amount of growth resulted when methionine, valine, histidine, and isoleucine were omitted from the basal medium. They also reported that alanine was needed for the growth of Streptococcus faecalis but in the present work only a slight increase in growth resulted when levels of alanine up to 0.5 to.0 mg. per tube were tested; consequently mg. per tube was used in all subsequent work. Undoubtedly the purity of the amino acids and the different assay techniques employed were largely responsible for the differences noted. The reliability of Streptococcus faecalis for the threonine assay has been shown by excellent recoveries and excellent checks obtained with different levels of the test samples. Autoclaving samples of animal tissues for as long as 8 hours with N HCI did not result in an increase or a decrease in the values obtained. The adequacy of the method of hydrolysis was further established by the fact that no increase in values was obtained after autoclaving for hours with N HCl. In the first half hour as much as 75 per cent of the threonine was liberated. The standard was shown to be reliable, since the naturally occurring isomer gave the same growth response to Streptococcus faecalis as twice that amount of dlthreonine. There are no values in the literature for the threonine content of biological material determined by the microbiological method. However, the values obtained in this study compare reasonably well with those obtained by the chemical methods summarized by Block and Bolling (7, 8). The following comparisons can be made when both values are expressed as per cent threonine N of the total N and the microbiological values are given first: casein.7 and.9, lactalbumin.7 and.9, soy bean meal.8 and.9, ground corn.5 and.6. It is interesting from a nutritional point of view that most muscle meats contain about 0.7 to 0.8 per cent threonine or approximately.0 per cent on a protein basis. When the results are expressed as per cent threonine nitrogen of total nitrogen, the values are remarkably constant for muscle meats. The values for the other tissues tend to be slightly higher but Downloaded from by guest on November 7, 08
7 GREENHUT, SCHWEIGERT, AND ELVEHJEM 75 many more values are needed before any significance can be attached to these small differences. It is clearly evident that lactalbumin contains more threonine than casein, because values of 5. and.8 are obtained when the calculations are made on the true nitrogen content. The values for the natural products are minimum when expressed as per cent threonine N of the total N, because some of the total N of these samples is nonprotein N (Beach et al. (9)). It would be valuable to know the exact quantity of protein and nonprotein nitrogen in each sample but many difficulties are involved in such determinations. With the improved methods for the estimation of amino acids now becoming available it may soon be possible to determine directly all of the amino acids in biological materials with considerable accuracy. When this. can be done, the best procedure may be to calculate the N in each amino acid as per cent of total N and the nonamino acid nitrogen can then be estimated by difference. SUMMARY The amino acid requirements of Streptococcus faecalis have been investigated. Leucine, threonine, glutamic acid, asparagine, lysine, valine, isoleucine, methionine, arginine, histidine, serine, tryptophane, and cystine were required and alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and glycine were found to be stimulatory. Xtreptococcus faecalis has been used for the assay of threonine in natural materials. Suitable recovery experiments and a study of methods of hydrolysis established the validity of the assay. The following values were obtained: animal tissue protein. to.7, casein.7, lactalbumin 5.0, soy bean oil meal.9, and whole corn. per cent threonine in the protein (calculated to 6 per cent N). The values are also expressed for each sample on the basis of the per cent threonine N of the total N. Downloaded from by guest on November 7, 08 BIBLIOGRAPHY. Kuiken, K. A., Norman, W. H., Lyman, C.
