Strains of Geotrichum candidum were isolated from the surface of a commercial sample of Limburger cheese and from raw milk. Growth of the isolates in an acidified tryptone-yeast extract medium was accompanied by a rise in the pH of the medium from 3.5 to above 7.0 Ammonia production, as indicated by Nesslerization, was associated with the deamination of glutamic and aspartic acids. The first reaction in the production of ammonia from glutamic acid, isomerization to beta-methylaspartic acid, required vitamin B12 and the second reaction, the deamination of beta-methylaspartic acid to mesaconic acid and ammonia, was dependent on magnesium and potassium. The conversion of aspartic acid to fumaric acid and ammonia required magnesium. These minerals were in sufficient amounts in the Limburger cheese for optimum deaminase activity.
