Abstract excerpt
Cephalosporin biosynthetic activity and extracellular protease production increased during growth of Streptomyces clavuligerus in defined medium, while the level of guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) remained very low and stable. Cephalosporin biosynthesis (measured in resting cell systems) was initiated during early exponential growth in complex media, without appreciable change in the small ppGpp...
