Maltose adaptive mutant of heterotrophic marine bacterium, Alteromonas espejiana Bal-31: changes in the growth and the induction of extracellular alpha-amylase.

Abstract excerpt

Growth of the heterotrophic marine bacterium, Alteromonas espejiana Bal-31 was inhibited in the presence of sucrose, maltose and even glucose, but not with starch. Extracellular alpha-amylase was induced with a lag phase of 2 h in the presence of starch. In contrast, cell growth of the S2a mutant was not affected by the addition of maltose, and starch was ineffective in the induction of extracellular...
