Calcium regulation of growth and differentiation in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Jan 1992

Trombe M C, Clavé C, Manias J M

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae requires 0.15 mM-Ca2+ in the medium for optimal growth. Increasing the Ca2+ concentration to 1 mM triggers either a differentiative state, competence for genetic transformation during exponential growth, or partial lysis as soon as the cultures enter stationary phase. Gen...
