General description
2,6-Diaminopimelic acid is produced in bacteria and is a component of cell wall. It is also synthesized by higher plants.
Application
2,6-Diaminopimelic acid (DAP) has been used:
- as a supplement in glucose minimal media for screening Bacillus subtilis(44)
- as a component of lysogeny broth (LB) agar for screening E coli transformants(45)
- as a standard in thin layer chromatography for the characterization of DAP isoforms from Streptomyces strains(46)
Biochem/physiol Actions
2,6-Diaminopimelic acid is essential for microbial metabolism and is a potential marker for quantification of microbial proteins. It is a sensitive and reliable marker and is majorly quantified using gradient high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Other Notes
Mixture of LL-, DD- and meso-isomers.
