Thiobacillus neapolitanus, a strict chemoautotroph, is sensitive to the addition of 10(-4)m methionine, histidine, threonine, or phenylalanine to the thiosulfate medium on which it grows. When histidine, threonine, or phenylalanine are added at the time of inoculation, spontaneous mutants tolerant to the three amino acids are selected. These mutants appear to result from a single genetic change; of 18 independently isolated histidine-tolerant mutants, all are also tolerant to phenylalanine and threonine. The uptake of (14)C-phenylalanine into exponentially growing cells of one such mutant is negligible in contrast with the uptake observed in the phenylalanine-sensitive parent. The addition of methionine to the medium slows growth, but spontaneous mutants are not selected. Inhibition of growth by these amino acids is observed only under conditions of amino acid imbalance; the addition of an equimolar mixture of 16 amino acids, in which each component is present at a concentration of 10(-3)m, causes no inhibition. Histidine and threonine inhibition may be released by equimolar amounts of any one of seven amino acids: serine, alanine, glycine, leucine, valine, tryptophan, or tyrosine; histidine inhibition is also released by isoleucine, and threonine inhibition by methionine. None of the inhibiting amino acids inhibits oxidation of thiosulfate in cell suspensions. A group of hexoses, pentoses, and Krebs cycle intermediates were tested for inhibition of growth or release of inhibition by histidine, phenylalanine, or threonine, but no effects, either inhibition or relief of inhibition, were found.
