Putrescine Detected in Strains of Staphylococcus aureus
Pathogens, 2023 Most forms of life, including the archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes synthesize the polyamine putrescine. Although putrescine is widely distributed, several Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Metabolic sequestration of putrescine in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1982 The metabolic fate of putrescine labelled in vivo was investigated after administration of a trace (10-7 M) of L-[14C]ornithine to exponentially growing mycelia of Neurospora crassa, followed by a large chase (2 mM) of L-[12C]ornithine.
