Abstract excerpt
During cultivation in the presence of N-acetylglucosamine or chitin, Streptomyces olivaceoviridis mycelium efficiently takes up [(14)C]-labelled N-acetylglucosamine. Uptake of the labelled compound can be completely inhibited by unlabelled N-acetylglucosamine and partially by chitobiose. After extraction of the membrane with Triton X-100, two forms of a protein that binds to N-acetylglucosamine and N,...
