Abstract
l-Methionine anddl-ethionine decreased production of thiolutin and aureothricin inStreptomyces kasugaensis. In the presence ofl-methionine the culture also produced 3-methylthioacrylic acid, 3-methylthiopropionic acid and 3,6-bis-(2-methylthioethyl)-2,5-dioxopiperazine. Production of the metabolites depended on the concentration ofl-methionine in the medium.
