R.YR 1981 T1 Uptake of 3,4-Dihydroxy[3H]phenylalanine by Mycobacterium leprae Isolated from Frozen (-80 0C) Armadillo Tissue JF Microbiology, VO 127 IS 2 SP 385 OP 389 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-127-2-385 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB Mycobacterium leprae separated from armadillo tissues stored at -80 0C is similar to that from human sources in its ability to take up 3H-labelled 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Several inhibitors were studied which showed complete or partial inhibition of [3H]DOPA uptake. These findings suggest that M. leprae isolated from frozen tissue possesses an active uptake system for [3H]DOPA., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-127-2-385
