A direct study of peptide uptake by Escherichia coli was made using a fluorescent procedure. After incubation with the bacteria, peptides remaining in the medium were dansylated, separated chromatographically, and quantitated from their fluorescent intensities and/or from their incorporated radioactivity when tritiated dansyl derivatives were prepared. Peptide uptake was apparently not regulated and proceeded continuously until complete, with the absorbed peptides undergoing rapid intracellular hydrolysis and the excess amino acid residues leaving the cell. Thus, peptide uptake and amino acid exodus occur concurrently. However, peptidase-resistant substrates, e.g. triornithine and glycylsarcosine, which can be similarly estimated in cell extracts, were accumulated about 1,000-fold. The influence of amino acid composition and chain length on rates of transport was assessed. Different strains of E. coli showed variability in their rates of di- and oligopeptide transport. With respect to energy coupling, both the di- and oligopeptide permeases behaved like shock-sensitive transport systems.
