[Effect of antiseptics and redox-cycling agents on Corynebacterium ammoniagenes and related microorganisms in relation to synthesis of a new macroergic compound].

Sublethal concentration of the antiseptic composition Desoxon-1 was shown to provoke in cells of Corinebacterium ammoniagenes in a liquid medium the biosynthesis and accumulation of a novel macroergic 2-methylbutane-1,2,3,4-tetraol-2,4-cyclopyrophosphate. This substance is also synthesized when C. ammoniagenes is cultivated in a solid agar medium supplemented with benzylviologen.
