Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus nidulans synthesizes penicillins as secondary metabolites when grown under certain culture conditions. Broths containing carbon (C) sources that give rise to carbon catabolite repression (CCR) support a much lower antibiotic yield than broths with non-repressing C sources. Steady-stat...
