Regulation of bistability in glucose metabolism of Escherichia coli ML 30 chemostat cultures by cyclic AMP.
Evidence is presented that cyclic AMP is engaged in the regulation of a bistability in the glucose and energy metabolism of NH3-limited chemostat cultures of Escherichia coli ML 30. Cyclic AMP probably reverses the repression of the citric acid cycle by glucose favouring the state of glycogen and energy overproduction.
