An experimental study was carried out to examine the effects of different metabolic inhibitors namely 6-marcaptopurine, 2, 4 dinitrophenol, sodium arsenate, mercuric chlorice, sodium arsenite, 2-thiouracil, sodium azide, malonic acid and sodium fluoride on growth and l-glutamic acid production by the mutant Micrococcus glutamicus AB100. All these inhibitors showed detrimental effect on growth of l-glutamic acid production. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol8no2/effect-of-metabolic-inhibitors-on-growth-and-production-of-l-glutamic-acid-by-the-mutant-micrococcus-glutamicus-ab100/ Metabolic inhibitors; L-glutamic acid; Growth; Mutant; Micrococcus glutamicus
