701–706. 1963.—Evidence is presented for the presence in meningopneumonitis particles and extracts of an enzyme decarboxylating α, ε-diaminopimelic acid to lysine and for the absence of a corresponding enzyme in the uninfected host. Properties of the enzyme are described and compared with those of bacterial diaminopimelic acid decarboxylases. The significance of these observations with respect to the mode of lysine biosynthesis in the psittacosis group and to its phylogenetic origin is pointed out.
