What type of glutamine synthetase is important forStreptomyces coelicolor A3(2) under nitrogen-limited growth conditions?

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Glutamine synthetase I activity ofStreptomyces coelicolor was strongly repressed by ammonia and was induced 56.8 fold in a nitrogen-free medium. Glutamine synthetase II activity was not induced even by a long-term nitrogen starvation. Therefore, glutamine synthetase I is the only active enzyme ofStreptomyces coelicolor.
