Regulation of carbohydrate uptake in gram-positive bacteria.
Uptake of glycerol and other carbohydrates by Staphylococcus  aureus cells is sensitive to regulation by sugar substrates of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system. Inhibition requires an intact phosphotransferase system. In contrast to results obtained with Gram-negative bacteria, it appears that intracellular sugar phosphate is the inhibiting species.
