title: Biosynthesis of a alpha-amylase and protease by Streptomyces olivaceus 142. III. Some aspects of alpha-amylase induction.
abstract: The induction of alpha-amylase in Streptomyces olivaceus 142 depends on the phase of growth of culture and the nature of the carbon sources upon which the cells were grown prior to exposure to inducer. The most susceptible to induction are cells from the initial hours of growth and glycerol -- grown cells. Reduction in the susceptibility of cells to alpha-amylase induction is probably a result of catabolic repression.
