1. The pH optima for the incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids into gramicidin S by an 11000g cell-free extract from Bacillus brevis have been determined. The pH optima for leucine, proline, phenylalanine, ornithine and valine were 7·5–7·7, 7·5–7·7, 7·7–7·9, 7·7–7·9 and 8·0–8·2 respectively. Hence the greatest difference in pH optima existed between leucine and valine, where it was 0·5pH unit. 2. The 11000g cell-free extract incorporated into gramicidin S only the l-isomers of valine, proline and ornithine. However, both isomers of leucine are utilized and the experiments indicate that a leucine racemase exists in the 11000g cell-free extract. With phenylalanine the l-isomer is utilized much more effectively than the d-isomer. This is noteworthy since it is the d-isomer that occurs in gramicidin S. The experiments indicate that conversion of the l-isomer into the d-form takes place at a stage beyond that of the free amino acid.
