Exogenous glycine betaine was found to stimulate the growth rate of the bacterium in media of inhibitory osmotic strength. The stimulation was independent of any specific solute, electrolyte, or non-electrolyte. The bacterium did not utilize glycine betaine as a sole carbon source or nitrogen source, or degrade it even in complete medium. The changes in intracellular proline and glycine betaine concentrations were measured in media of different osmolarity. Brevibacterium lactofermentum grown in media without glycine betaine did not accumulate it, but synthesized several hyndred millimoles of proline inside the cells. On the other hand, when glycine betaine was added to the growth media, it accumulated in the cell instead of proline. These data indicate that glycine betaine is an osmoprotective compound for B. lactofermentum.
