Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of Streptomyces coelicolor Development Demonstrates That Onset of Secondary Metabolism Coincides with Hypha Differentiation
11 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces species produce many clinically important secondary metabolites, including antibiotics and antitumorals. They have a complex developmental cycle, including programmed cell death phenomena, that makes this bacterium a multicellular prokaryotic model. There are two differentiated mycelial stages: an early compartmentalized vegetative mycelium (first mycelium) and a multinucleated reproductive mycelium...
