Intracellular glucose 6-phosphate content in Streptomyces coelicolor upon environmental changes in a defined medium.
A new, chemically defined medium providing dispersed growth and high biomass formation and a method for quantitative extraction of intracellular metabolites was used to investigate the cellular response of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) during growth and upon changes in nutrient utilization. Fast changes of the glucose 6-phosphate content precisely signaled transitions in the flow of carbon sources. The results indicate that intracellular pool sizes may be used to detect early nutrient limitations in view of the onset of antibiotic production. Additionally the results disclose characteristics of the regulation of maltose and glutamic acid uptake and degradation in S. coelicolor A3(2).
