    Notes: Abstract  L-Lysine is known to stimulate production of β-lactam antibiotics by Streptomyces clavuligerus via provision of the lysine breakdown product, L-α-aminoadipic acid, which is a limiting precursor. Previous investigations utilized levels of 10–20 mM L-lysine as an addition to chemically-defined media resulting in 50–100% improvement in antibiotic production. We were surprised to note that as the concentration was further increased, the organism responded by producing even higher titers of antibiotics. The optimum concentration of 100 mM L-lysine yielded an approximate 500% increase in production with only minor effects on growth. DL- and D-Lysine also exerted enhancements suggesting the presence of a lysine racemase or some other route from D-lysine to L-α-aminoadipate in this organism; D-lysine was considerably less potent than DL- or L-lysine.

    Notes: Abstract Previous studies [Connell et al. (1987) Mol Microbiol 1: 195–201] have shown that expression of the microcin B17 (MccB17) promoter is inversely related to the growth rate of the culture, when slower growth was brought about by limitation of sources of carbon, nitrogen or phosphorus. When we used oxygen limitation to decrease growth in a glucose-based chemically defined medium, we found specific MccB17 production to be positively related to growth rate and extent. On the other hand, when we examined various nutritional variations of media, specific production of MccB17 showed a negative relationship to growth rate and extent, as would be predicted by the findings of Connell et al. (1987). Glucose, glycerol and acetate were found to repress MccB17 production; succinate was not repressive. Succinate is an excellent carbon source for production of MccB17 since high levels can be used with no or little interference in product synthesis.

    Notes: Abstract In a chemically defined medium containing aspartate, arginine and histidine to support good growth, addition of L-lysine stimulated rapamyycin production by 150%. This was probably due to its conversion to pipecolic acid, a rapamycin precursor. Phenylalanine and methionine interfered in rapamycin production by unknown mechanisms.

    Notes: Rotating bioreactors designed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center were used to simulate a microgravity environment in which to study secondary metabolism. The system examined was β-lactam antibiotic production by Streptomyces clavuligerus. Both growth and β-lactam production occurred in simulated microgravity. Stimulatory effects of phosphate and L-lysine, previously detected in normal gravity, also occurred in simulated microgravity. The degree of β-lactam antibiotic production was markedly inhibited by simulated microgravity.

    Notes: Abstract Interference with β-lactam production inStreptomyces clavuligerus by ammonium and phosphate ions, normally observed with optimum levels of aeration, was eliminated by restriction of the air supply. Under such a restriction, ammonium slightly stimulated and phosphate markedly stimulated β-lactam antibiotic production. These are rare examples of ‘regulation reversal’ by an environmental modification.

    Notes: Abstract. In a continuing study of microbial secondary metabolism in simulated microgravity, we have examined gramicidin S (GS) production by Bacillus brevis strain Nagano in NASA High Aspect Rotating Vessels (HARVs), which are designed to simulate some aspects of microgravity. Growth and GS production were found to occur under simulated microgravity. When performance under simulated microgravity was compared with that under normal gravity conditions in the bioreactors, GS production was found to be unaffected by simulated microgravity. The repressive effect of glycerol in flask fermentations was not observed in the HARV. Thus the negative effect of glycerol on specific GS formation is dependent on shear and/or vessel geometry, not gravity.
