title: [Biosynthesis of the antibiotic gramicidin S by a Bacillus brevis culture associated with a change in growth kinetics].
abstract: The effect of changes in the kinetics of growth on gramicidin S biosynthesis by Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. was studied. The synthesis of gramicidin S is induced when the specific growth rate decreases, whatever is the factor causing this decrease. As was found experimentally, only cells of a certain age can synthesize gramicidin S.
