Abstract
The presence of the locus for D-serine deaminase (dsd) renders bacteria resistant to growth inhibition by D-serine and enables them to grow with D-serine as the sole nitrogen source. The two properties permit stringent selection in genetic crosses and make the D-serine deaminase gene an excellent marker, especially in the construction of strains for which the use of antibiotic resistance genes as selective markers is not allowed.
