The effects of arginine analogs on a fish pathogen, A. salmonicida, were investigated. This organism was resistant in various degrees to most arginine analogs tested but was sensitive to arginine hydroxamate. Inhibition of growth by arginine hydroxamate was reversed by the addition of arginine to the bacterial culture. Incorporation of 14C from 14C-amino acids, i.e., guanidoarginine, glutamate, asparate, alanine, isoleucine, serine, methyl-methionine and cystine, was affected.
