Abstract
The addition of the purine analogues, 6-mercaptopurine and 2,6-diamino-purine, and the pyrimidine analogues, 5-aminouracil, 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 6-methyl-2-thiouracil, 2-thiocytosine, and 2-thiouracil, inhibited the formation of adaptive enzymes for the oxidation of benzoic acid in this mycobacterium. 2-Thioorotic acid had no effect.
