Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 11700 uses oxalurate as a sole energy source for growth. An oxamate carbamoyltransferase and a carbamate kinase, both induced by oxalurate, are involved in this process. The oxalurate-induced kinase is specific for the pathway. Its properties are different from those of the previously characterized agmatine and arginine-induced kinases. Glucose, but not arginine, nor agmatine, two other energy sources, represses the oxalurate pathway. In contrast, oxalurate was found to be at least as effective as glucose in repressing the arginine deiminase pathway in arginine grown cells, or the agmatine deiminase pathway during growth on agmatine.
粪肠球菌ATCC 11700利用草尿酸盐作为唯一的生长能量来源。草尿酸盐诱导产生的草氨酸氨基甲酰转移酶和氨基甲酸激酶参与了这一过程。草尿酸盐诱导的激酶对该途径具有特异性。其特性不同于先前鉴定的胍丁胺和精氨酸诱导的激酶。葡萄糖，而非精氨酸和胍丁胺这两种其他能量来源，会抑制草尿酸盐途径。相反，发现草尿酸盐在抑制精氨酸生长细胞中的精氨酸脱亚胺酶途径或胍丁胺生长过程中的胍丁胺脱亚胺酶途径方面至少与葡萄糖一样有效。
