Involvement of glucose catabolism in avermectin production by Streptomyces avermitilis.

RESUMO

The addition of glucose in the early stage of fermentation suppressed not only avermectin production but also the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate pathway. On the other hand, when glucose was added at the late stage of fermentation, suppression of avermectin formation and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity was not observed but avermectin formation was increased and about a twofold-higher content of avermectins than that of the control fermentation was accumulated.
